HC Deb 21 October 1943 vol 392 c1540W
Mr. Boothby

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will give an undertaking, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, that Great Britain will in no circumstances return to the gold standard or relinquish the right to vary the gold value of the £1 sterling in accordance with the national interests?

Sir J. Anderson

These points are covered by the assurances already given that no commitment in this field will be entered into without previous Debate in this House.
