Leslie M. Shaw agrees with many of the conclusions drawn in the Currency Commission’s report, although he does not believe that any legislation could be passed. Shaw does not have any more hope of currency legislation being passed after reading the report. The problem is that the banks and bankers are supportive of policies that benefit them that may not benefit the country as a whole.
