HC Deb 28 January 1971 vol 810 c198W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the effect on the United Kingdom's economic growth since 1958 of sterling's rôle as a reserve currency.

Mr. Higgins

It is not possible to assess precisely the effect that sterling's reserve rôle has had on the rate of economic growth.
