HC Deb 26 March 1968 vol 761 c236W
56. Mr. Dodds-Parker

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer by how much the purchasing value of the £1 sterling has fallen in the first three months since devaluation.

Mr. Harold Lever

Taking the internal purchasing power of the £ as 20s. 0d. in November 1967, its value in February 1968 is estimated at 19s. 8d. This estimate is based on movements in the index of retail prices.
