HC Deb 15 October 1946 vol 427 c152W
68. Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the maximum amount which the United Kingdom can be called upon, under existing arrangements, to lend under the Bretton Woods scheme, whether in the form of contribution to the capital of the International Monetary Fund and of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, or as a result of member countries of the Fund using their quotas for the purchase of sterling.

Mr. Dalton

£325 millions to each, but the Bank can only call £65 millions unless money is needed to meet a guarantee. Other countries cannot get more sterling from the Fund than we have put there by means-of our subscription.
