§ 32. Mr. R. Harrisasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give further consideration to the introduction of a decimal currency system in this country as a necessary prerequisite to Great Britain's successful participation in a European common market.
§ Sir E. BoyleNo, Sir. My right hon. Friend does not consider that a decimal currency system is in any way necessary for the successful participation of this country in a European common market.
§ Mr. HarrisNevertheless, would it not be of tremendous advantage in many other respects to the nation, and would it not help many people in other countries to do their trade with this country?
§ Sir E, BoyleNo; I disagree with my hon. Friend. I think there is much more to be said for a duo-decimal system of accounting.
