asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what plans he has for improving control of the growth of the money supply during 1969.

Mr. Harold Lever

I cannot anticipate my right hon. Friend's Budget Statement.

61. Mr. Clegg

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how he defines the term money supply; and what has been its value on the last day of the years 1963 to 1968.

Mr. Harold Lever

The official definition of the money supply comprises notes and coin held by United Kingdom residents other than banks plus net deposits by United Kingdom residents with institutions classified to the banking sector. Recent end-year figures for the money supply are published in Financial Statistics (Table 47).
