HC Deb 23 November 1971 vol 826 c306W
42. Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it remains his objective to secure a reduction of the rate of increase in the money supply, quarter by quarter, during the course of the current financial year.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

As my hon. Friend will know, my right hon. Friend is now planning for a higher rate of growth of output between the first halves of 1971 and 1972 than he envisaged in the Budget, and this naturally has implications for the quarterly path of money supply.
