HC Deb 24 June 1968 vol 767 c36W
Mr. Cant

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) what plans he has to extend exchange control on long-term capital investment abroad to the overseas sterling area;

(2) whether he will apply a differential exchange rate in respect of portfolio investment by United Kingdom residents in Australia or include portfolio investment in Australia by British nationals in the dollar premium arrangements.

Mr. Taverne

I have no present proposals for changing the Voluntary Programme, which already operates in this field.
