HC Deb 13 May 1935 vol 301 cc1385-6W
Mr. LEWIS

asked the Secretary of State for India whether any preparations are being made for recalling from circulation the existing silver rupees and for substituting there for token coins with a lower silver content in the event of the price of silver rising to over 4s. 3d. per fine ounce?

Mr. BUTLER

The situation is being carefully watched.
