HC Deb 31 March 1977 vol 929 c235W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what specific action has been taken by his Department in the past three months to curb purely speculative dealings on the London Metal Exchange.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

Dealings on the London Metal Exchange in the past three months have not called for specific action either by the Treasury, or by the Bank of England.
