HC Deb 19 June 1952 vol 502 cc113-4W
78. Mr. Stokes

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps he proposes to take in order to obtain a revaluation of gold, in view of the fact that he is now establishing a monetary machine more closely restricted by the gold value of the dollar than that contemplated under the Bretton Woods Agreement.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I am not clear what the right hon. Gentleman has in mind. Any question of a general revaluation of gold would, under the Articles of the International Monetary Fund, have to be decided by that body.
