HC Deb 26 May 1976 vol 912 c210W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps to limit speculation in commodities, particularly metals, by requiring margin deposits to be raised from 10 per cent. to 30 per cent. or possibly 50 per cent. depending on market conditions.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

I shall let my hon. Friend have a reply as soon as possible.
