HC Deb 22 February 1949 vol 461 c253W
60. Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give an assurance that measures of exchange control designed to safeguard the resources of the sterling area are exercised equally by all members of the sterling area, and those other countries who have claims on the sterling area, and that allocations from the resources of the sterling area are based on the need of the country concerned to purchase essential commodities.

Sir S. Cripps

I have nothing to add to the reply which my hon. Friend the Economic Secretary gave to the hon. and gallant Member on 8th February.
