HC Deb 09 July 1990 vol 176 c1W
Mr. Sedgemore

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has any plans to make the ecu legal tender in Britain; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lilley

[holding answer 26 June 1990]: It is not necessary for the ecu to be made legal tender for it to be used in transactions if both parties so agree.
