- leave out from 'House' to end and add 'notes that Her Majesty's Government decided to agree on 19 November to a 7% devaluation of the green pound which benefits farmers incomes but has a significant inflationary impact on key food prices; points out that owing to currency realignments within the Exchange Rate Mechanism, the green pound has devalued approximately 13% in total since 16 September; and calls on Her Majesty's Government in the interests of consumers and food and drink manufacturers not to proceed with any further devaluations before monetary compensatory amounts are abolished'.
