Mr. DOYLEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is directing attention to the question of reducing the amount of paper money in circulation with a view to decreasing the cost of living, and to what extent currency notes in circulation have diminished since the commencement of the present financial year?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINFigures showing the amount of Bank Notes and Currency Notes in circulation are published weekly. The problems of the Currency and Exchange are under the consideration of the Currency and Exchange Committee from whom I expect to receive a further report very shortly.
