HC Deb 06 January 1916 vol 77 c1116W
Mr. NEEDHAM

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer when he intends to earmark additional gold coin and bullion; and to what amount against the issue of currency notes for £97,525,099 and of certificates for £5,600,000?

Mr. McKENNA

I do not think the present is a propitious moment to consider this question.
