HC Deb 28 March 1935 vol 299 c2094W
Mr. HAMMERSLEY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether in view of the instability of gold as a measure of relative value and the adverse effect of an instable monetary standard on trade, both internal and foreign, he will refrain from taking any steps which would artifically fix the price of gold as expressed in sterling?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I cannot usefully add anything to my statement on the occasion of the debate on the Vote on Account on the 7th of this month.
