HC Deb 08 July 1958 vol 591 cc13-4W
68. Mr. Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what further action he is taking to check the drift in the value of the £ since 1951 and to obtain the objective of the Government in doubling the standard of living in 25 years.

Mr. D. Amory

Appropriate action to keep the economy in balance will continue to be taken as circumstances require. As regards the second part of the Question, we shall encourage as rapid a development of our resources as is consistent with the strength and stability of our money.
