HC Deb 13 May 1983 vol 42 c518W
Mr. Arnold

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what are the responsibilities of Her Majesty's ambassador in Washington with respect to the United Kingdom delegation to the International Monetary Fund; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hurd

Her Majesty's ambassador in Washington has no direct responsibility for the United Kingdom delegation to the International Monetary Fund. But the head of that delegation, who is the United Kingdom executive director of the International Monetary Fund, also holds the position of Minister (Economic) on the staff of the ambassador.
