HC Deb 25 April 1985 vol 77 c514W
12. Mr. Stanbrook

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what conditions he would wish to exist before he recommends the participation of the United Kingdom in the exchange rate mechanism of the European monetary system.

Mr. Ian Stewart

We would want in particular to be satisfied that participation was consistent with the effective conduct of our domestic policies and that undue instability would not be introduced into the exchange rate mechanism itself.
