HC Deb 22 November 1949 vol 470 cc20-1W
72. Mr. Warbey

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will appoint a committee to inquire into the recent speculative activities on the Stock Exchange which have the effect of lowering the value of Government securities, and to recommend means of maintaining Government securities at their true valuation and of keeping the long-term rate of interest at a reasonably low level.

Sir S. Cripps:

No. This is a matter with which the Government can and will deal in the future as in the past.
