HC Deb 14 March 1995 vol 256 c463W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the constitutional implications of the severing of the link between the Irish punt and the British pound.

Mr. Nelson

The link between the Irish punt and British pound was severed when Ireland joined the European monetary system. This step had no constitutional implications for the United Kingdom.
