HC Deb 10 May 1971 vol 817 c35W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the policy of Her Majesty's Government is to the official proposal of the German Government that there should be more flexible exchange rates, with the European Economic Community currencies fluctuating as a block against the dollar and the pound; to what extent he estimates such proposals would assist Great Britain's economic situation and her entry into the European Economic Community; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Higgins

I would refer the hon. Member to the speech made by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer at the annual meeting of the I.M.F. in Copenhagen last September.
