§ Mr. Edward Lyonsasked the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs whether, in order to prevent an artificial acceleration of demand and hoarding of imported wines and foreign luxury goods to anticipate the effects of devaluation, he will permit an immediate increase in prices of existing stocks and thereby reduce and delay the expenditure of foreign currency necessary for their replacement.
§ Mr. Frederick LeeNormally stocks of goods imported prior to devaluation should not be increased in price.
