Monetary Policy: Lawson minute to Chancellor ("Reducing the exchange rate: inflow controls & other options") [inflow controls offering cover] [declassified 2011]

Document type: Declassified documents
Source: (1) Bank of England Archive 7A-134-16 f.156 (2) Lawson MSS (Christ Church College, Oxford) Lawson 1 (1980)
Editorial comments: The Lawson minute is preceded by a covering note. The copy shown the Governor is missing around 1 inch on the right hand side of the page, apparently a common problem with documents faxed from the Treasury to the Bank of England, not adding much to mutual understanding. A clean copy from a carbon in the Lawson MSS at Christ Church can be found after the Bank of England fax at the end of the document.
