HC Deb 24 January 1977 vol 924 c409W
Mr. Arnold

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will make proposals to the International Monetary Fund with a view to improving the Fund's economic forecasting procedures and models.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

No. Discussions with the Fund on economic forecasts are not conducted exclusively on the basis of any single economic model. In the case of the United Kingdom, full account is taken of the Government's own forecasts as well as of other relevant sources.
