HC Deb 12 February 1985 vol 73 c101W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Prime Minister what criteria Her Majesty's Government use in deciding whether the pound sterling is overvalued in relation to other currencies.

The Prime Minister

The hon. Gentleman has missed the point. It is the dollar that is overvalued in relation to other currencies, as the United States current account payments deficit of over $100 billion would suggest.
