§ 60. Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyreasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what loss in receipts of dollars or other hard currency to the sterling pool has occurred to date in the present financial year as against last year, consequent upon the disturbances in Malaya; and if he will give an estimate of the full loss that will be incurred in the present financial year.
§ Sir S. CrippsDollar receipts by Malaya are running at rather over last year's rate. I cannot estimate what the sales to hard currency areas would have been if there had been no disturbances.
