abstract = "In 1924-25 A. C. Pigou was a member of the “Committee on the Currency and Bank of England Note Issues”, which became known as the {\textquoteleft}Chamberlain-Bradbury{\textquoteright} Committee after its two successive chairmen. The historical context of that report, including Pigou{\textquoteright}s highlighting of discussion pertaining to that context, has been presented in Part I of this study. The present paper, which is the Part II of the study, considers Pigou{\textquoteright}s reading of the transcripts of interview between the Committee{\textquoteright}s members and those appearing before the Committee to give evidence. The contribution of the present part of the study is to examine the {\textquoteleft}transitional{\textquoteright} and {\textquoteleft}ongoing{\textquoteright} issues that Pigou highlighted in a thematically organised manner, with a view to establishing the character of Pigou{\textquoteright}s membership of the {\textquoteleft}Chamberlain-Bradbury{\textquoteright} Committee. His reading of the witness testimony suggests a far more cautious and moderate approach to the return to the gold standard than what can be inferred from the bold and urgent recommendations included in the Committee{\textquoteright}s report. A likely reason for Pigou unwillingness to oppose the pro-gold position is also presented.",
