HC Deb 07 November 1986 vol 103 c626W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what new economic and financial obligations it is envisaged that Her Majesty's Government would have to undertake in the event of the United Kingdom joining the exchange rate mechanism of the European monetary system; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ian Stewart

There would be an obligation to maintain the value of sterling within the agreed margins.
