§ Mr. Higginsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement clarifying the conditions under which persons can with impunity hand in at this time gold coins which they are holding contrary to the provisions of Statutory Instrument No. 438 of 1966.
§ Mr. Harold LeverAnyone holding gold coins in contravention of the Exchange Control Act, 1947, is liable to prosecution. I do not intend for the time being to change the present practice of not seeking to bring proceedings against those who make voluntary disclosures.
