HC Deb 15 February 1934 vol 285 c2113W
Captain ERSKINE-BOLST

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to the decision of the Czechoslovakian Government to devaluate the Czechoslovak Crown, with a view to increasing the exports of their country; and whether he will consider changes in the present system of drawing up British tariff scales in order to provide for protection against manufactured imports from countries thus depreciating their currencies?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part of the question, I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer which was given to the hon. Member for the Dorset East Division (Mr. Hall-Caine) on 1st February.
