§ 34. Mr. Leeasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the frauds, relating to dollar premium, operating on the foreign exchange market; and if he will then seek authority to set up a public inquiry under the Tribunals of Inquiry Act.
§ Mr. Robert SheldonThe suspected offences under investigation have happened separately and at different times. There are no grounds for believing that evasion in this field is widespread, and I see no need for a public inquiry. The normal procedure of investigation will continue. This will be followed by prosecution where this is decided by the Director of Public Prosecutions to be appropriate.
