HC Deb 03 November 1972 vol 845 c31W
Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the decision of the Government of Malaysia to diversify the pattern of their currency reserves, their sterling holdings continue to enjoy the Basle guarantee of their dollar exchange value.

Mr. Nott

No. The guarantee under the Sterling Agreement with Malaysia became inoperative when Malaysian sterling holdings were reduced below the required minimum sterling proportion.
