Government Policy Towards Futures Markets

Michael Prest

A chapter in ICCH Commodities Yearbook 1990, 1990, pp 3-5 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Early in 1989 the British Government dimly realised that it faced an embarrassing dilemma. The leases held by the International Wheat Council and the International Sugar Organisation on their London premises were due to expire, but neither body could afford the likely higher rent. France, and later Belguim and Holland, began to woo the IWC and the ISO to move to their countries. Should the British Government try to keep the organisations in London? If so, how? And did it matter?
