Reports claim about £30,900,000 in gold has entered England from abroad in three months, with £30,504,000 in treasury notes issued. The Bank’s holdings are said to align with actual receipts, not hoarding. The Mail urges scrutiny of courita and agents, suggesting secret channels moving gold to Germany to bolster German reserves.
