§ Mr. DAWESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that the value of the pound sterling in Gibraltar has fallen to 16.45 pesetas (the par value being 25 pesetas); that payment for most of the necessaries of life have to be made in Spanish currency; that in consequence the value of the pay receded by officers and men of His Majesty's Forces has seriously decreased; and whether he can see his way to remedy the hardship caused through this state of affairs?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI have not received any representations for adjusting the pay of sailors or soldiers at Gibraltar (who are supplied with the necessaries of life in kind) in consequence of the recent temporary rise in the value of the peseta in relation to the pound sterling.
