HC Deb 20 April 1999 vol 329 c495W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the criteria for selection of members of the euro task forces. [81046]

Ms Hewitt

The Government have consulted widely in taking forward euro preparations. For instance, in October 1997, the Chancellor set up a Business Advisory Group (BAG), headed by Lord Simon, to advise on the practical issues associated with UK membership. Representative organisations were invited to send their own nominated members.
