HC Deb 19 November 1931 vol 259 cc1036-7W
Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has considered the resolution passed by the Manchester Export Board, and sent to him, on the subject of the artificial propping of sterling; and whether he proposes to take any action in the matter?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I have been asked to reply to this question. I presume that the communication referred to is one which has also been addressed to me from the Manchester Association of Importers and Exporters. With regard to the last part of the question, I would refer the right hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Stockport (Mr. Hammersley) on 17th November.
