HC Deb 22 January 1968 vol 757 cc28-9W
91. Mr. James Davidson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will initiate discussions with the Governments of countries within the European Economic Community and the sterling area with a view to establishing a European reserve currency.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I attach great importance to international monetary reform, but I do not think there is any prospect of early agreement on so far-reaching a measure as a European reserve currency.
