HC Deb 03 June 1919 vol 116 cc1865-6W
Mr. EVELYN CECIL

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in releasing gold for the use of the jewellery trade, care will be taken to regulate its distribution under such conditions that it will be available to small jewellers, a number of whom are demobilised or wounded soldiers, as well as to the larger firms and associations?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

Should it be decided to release gold for the use of the jewellery trade, consideration will be given to the point raised.
