HC Deb 29 April 1920 vol 128 c1430W
Sir E. NICHOLL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if the new taxes imposed in the Budget will promote a general increase in prices; and is the House to understand that it is the policy of the Government to increase prices?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The answer to the first part of the question is, in my opinion, in the negative. The answer to the second part is clearly in the negative.
