HC Deb 28 November 1985 vol 87 c659W
19. Mr. Couchman

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will propose the repeal of the Exchange Control Act 1947 in the next Finance Bill.

Mr. Ian Stewart

I have noted my Hon. Friend's suggestion. He will recall that exchange controls were abolished in 1979 and the Act has been inoperative since then.
