HC Deb 06 December 1951 vol 494 c287W
64. Mr. Adams

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will undertake to defer any further action in regard to the bank rate until after 29th January, 1952.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

It would be contrary to precedent and to the public interest for any advance indication to be given of action in the monetary field, in whatever direction.
