HC Deb 12 June 1997 vol 295 c563W
24. Mr. Cash

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will place the issue of the single currency and the protocol on the third stage of economic and monetary union on the agenda for renegotiation at the intergovernmental conference at Amsterdam. [1609]

Mr. Darling

Economic and monetary union (EMU) is not on the IGC agenda. I have no intention of reopening the protocol which protects our right to choose whether to join the third stage of EMU.
