HC Deb 23 January 1968 vol 757 cc75-6W
Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the money attracted from abroad by the 8 per cent. Bank Rate.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

The increase in Bank Rate was one of a number of measures designed to relieve pressure on sterling. Quantitative estimates of the effect of a single measure are not possible.
