62. Mr. Platts-Mills

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer by what proportion it is calculated exports to hard currency areas must increase respectively, to yield the same amount of dollars as were obtained prior to the devaluation of the pound; to achieve the dollar earnings aimed at in the targets set in the most recent White Paper, and to close the present dollar gap of £600 million per annum.

Mr. Jay
