HC Deb 28 February 1924 vol 170 c706W
Mr. MOSLEY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the recent researches by leading economists and bankers into the possible effect of a reform in monetary policy upon employment, an authoritative committee to inquire into this subject will be constituted by His Majesty's Government?

Mr. SNOWDEN

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister to the hon. Member for West Stirlingshire (Mr. T. Johnston) on Monday, the 18th February.

Mr. MOSLEY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it will be within the terms of reference to the Committee on the National Debt to consider the contention that the policy recommended by the Cunliffe Committee has substantially increased the burden of the National Debt and must progressively benefit the bondholders at the expense of the community?

Mr. SNOWDEN

The answer is in the negative.
