Suspended Until When? What the Gold Suspensions of 1797 and 1931 Wrote About Their Own End

Did the documents that suspended gold convertibility in Britain in 1797 and 1931 write down what would end the suspension, and in what form; did they say who bore its cost; and do the modern records of the two episodes keep what the documents said? The modern records keep the dates and lose these distinctions; one of them supplies a term with hindsight that the actors never wrote.
