(2) if he will publish the letters of intent or similar communications sent to the international banking community by Government representatives between 1951 and October, 1964.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsSince October, 1964, the only letter of intent besides that of 23rd November this year was one sent in connection with the I.M.F. drawing of May, 1965. On this I would refer the hon. Member to my reply of 6th December to the hon. Member for Lewisham, West (Mr. Dickens).
