§ Mr. Moreingasked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been drawn to the drop in the value of the Chinese dollar; what information he has now received as to the working of the Chinese Government's exchange restrictions; and whether he will make urgent representations to the Chinese Government on the serious loss and inconvenience suffered by British traders and the necessity for some arrangement with the foreign banks in Shanghai to ensure an adequate supply of foreign exchange for commercial purposes and to maintain the value of Chinese currency?
§ Mr. ButlerThe answer to the first part of the question is, yes, Sir._ As regards the remainder of the question, I am continuing to watch the matter closely with a view to preventing any avoidable difficulties to British trade.
