HC Deb 17 February 1969 vol 778 c1W
16. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps Her Majesty's Government have taken to achieve closer co-operation between the States of the European Economic Community and the States applying to join the European Economic Community on matters of international monetary policy.

Mr. M. Stewart

There are several international bodies in which the Governments of the European Economic Community countries and of those applying to join the European Economic Community already discuss international monetary questions. Recently suggestions have been made to improve European co-operation in monetary matters and, as my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer made clear at the recent meeting of the Council of Europe, we welcome these suggestions.
