HL Deb 18 December 1985 vol 469 cc887-8WA
Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What consideration they have given to the pricing of British oil in ecus (European Community units of account) and, if none, whether they will consider the matter.

Viscount Long

Buyers and sellers of British oil are free to choose any currency, including ecus, to denominate their transactions.
