§ 101. Mr. Tilneyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will direct the Bank of England to discuss with the Central Banks of Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda means whereby merchants in Great Britain trading in commodities from the above-mentioned countires can buy their currencies forward, thereby helping to avoid the danger of such international markets moving outside Great Britain.
§ Mr. Roy Jenkins:No. Whilst forward cover facilities are essentially a matter for the commercial interests concerned, the Bank of England will continue to enter into discussions on these matters whenever they properly can.
