HC Deb 20 January 1976 vol 903 c441W
Mr. Gow

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will place in the Library copies of the replies which he has received from the Chairman of the IMF to his two letters to the chairman dated 18th December 1975.

Mr. Dell

It is not the practice of the Managing Director of the IMF to send replies to letters applying for IMF credit facilities of the kind which my right hon. Friend wrote to him on 18th December 1975. Such letters are considered by the IMF Executive Board, which decides whether or not to grant the facilities in question. As my right hon. Friend stated in the House of Commons on 12th January 1976, both United Kingdom requests have been granted.
