HC Deb 29 November 1966 vol 737 c54W
70. Mr. Sheldon

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the amount of interest charges payable on the sterling balance for the current year.

Mr. Callaghan

Interest on the United Kingdom gross sterling liabilities is about £200 million per annum; but there are substantial offsetting interest receipts from United Kingdom sterling claims.
