§ Mr. Murphyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what consideration he has given to making economies in the printing of Treasury minutes made under section 2 of the Currency and Bank Notes Act 1954.
§ Mr. LawsonI have reviewed the need for continued publication of Treasury minutes relating to the fiduciary note issue. In view of the substantial savings that can be achieved in printing costs it has been agreed with the House authorities that these minutes need no longer be printed as House of Commons papers. The minutes will continue to be laid in accordance with section 2(9) of the Currency and Bank Notes Act 1954 and be available in the Library.
