HC Deb 27 October 1983 vol 47 c180W
25. Mr. Gould

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is now his preferred indicator in terms of setting monetary targets.

Mr. Lawson

M1, £M3 and PSL2 are the target monetary aggregates for 1983–84 as set out in the medium term financial strategy. As I said in my Mansion House speech, I shall be considering whether to target a different measure of narrow money. for example MO, in 1984–85.
