§ 58. Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyreasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why, in view of the urgency to secure food imports, it is the policy of His Majesty's Government to refuse to allow Danish holdings of sterling balances to increase.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallThe hon. and gallant Member has misunderstood the position. The Danes are short of sterling and we should like to increase our purchases of food if it can be obtained at reasonable sterling prices.
