HC Deb 25 April 1969 vol 782 c131W
Sir C. Osborne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that sterling has fallen 56 points in two days to 2.3880, the lowest point since January; and what new steps he is taking to restore it to its par level of 2.40.

Mr. Harold Lever

The main purpose of the Budget is to continue our balance of payments improvement. Further measures are not called for at this juncture.
