§ Mr. Batsfordasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer from which authority can be obtained the list of authorised prices for gold coins laid down in Article 3 of Statutory Instrument, 1949, No. 2042.
§ Mr. DiamondI assume that the hon. Member intends to refer to Article 3 of Statutory Rules and Orders, 1947, No. 2050. There is no such list.
