§ Mr. FallonTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the dates on which he has written to the Governor of the Bank of England; and if he will place a copy of each letter in the library. [2302]
§ Mrs. LiddellThe Chancellor wrote to the Governor on 6 May, setting out the new monetary policy arrangements, and on 20 May dealing with the future of banking supervision. Copies of both of these letters have been placed in the Library.
The Chancellor writes to the Governor from time to time on a range of matters, some of which are commercially confidential or market sensitive. It would not be appropriate to place such letters in the Library.
