HC Deb 05 July 1960 vol 626 cc20-1W
51 and 52. Mr. Langford-Holt

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) when he expects to have decided which of the various decimal currency systems which can be adapted to the £ sterling will receive his support, with a view to obtaining the views of trades and the country at large;

(2) if he will take immediate steps to ascertain the views of trades and the country at large, with a view to an early change to a decimal currency system, since delay will add to the expense if a change is finally made.

Mr. Amory

There is nothing that I can add at this stage to the reply which I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Cleveland (Mr. Proudfoot) on 31st May.
