§ Q9. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Prime Minister whether the President of the Board of Trade's public statement on 29th September in Perth, Australia, about the price of gold represents the policy of Her Majesty's Government.
§ The Prime MinisterMy right hon. Friend made no declaration of Government policy on that occasion. In answer to a question he referred in theoretical terms to the consequences of a rise in the price of gold, but made it clear that it was not Her Majesty's Government's policy to press for an increase.
