HC Deb 19 December 1967 vol 756 cc351-2W
71.Mr. Orme

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if British subjects were involved in the violation of the regulations regarding sterling which took place on Friday, 17th November.

Mr. Roy Jenkins:

No evidence has come to light that U.K. residents acted illegally before devaluation by transferring funds through illegal channels. If offences were committed, they are liable to detection and prosecution under the Exchange Control Act.
