HC Deb 05 April 1984 vol 57 c626W
22. Mr. Wainwright

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what control over the volume of private sector borrowing from banks is available to protect the money supply targets.

Mr. Ian Stewart

The private sector's demand for bank credit can be influenced by interest rates and other policies: for example, measures which reduce borrowing needs or which encourage borrowing outside the banking system.

There is no direct relationship between MO and private sector bank borrowing.
