HC Deb 22 June 2000 vol 352 c290W
31. Mr. Amess

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what recent representations he has received about joining the single currency. [125857]

Miss Melanie Johnson

The Government's policy on membership of the single currency remains as set out by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in October 1997, and restated by the Prime Minister in February 1999. The Government have said they will recommend joining a successful single currency only if it is in our national economic interest to do so.
