§ Mr. Galbraithasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what in terms of money value in 1938 would be the equivalent of today's 2.4d.
§ Mr. MacDermotIt is estimated that 2.4d. in December, 1966, the latest date available, would have had the same purchasing power as 0.7d. in 1938. This estimate is based on changes in the consumer price index, adjusted for movements in the index of retail prices during 1966.
