Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he has taken steps to release assets held by the Bank of England to the Official Representative to the UK of interim Venezuelan President Juan Guaidó; and if he will make a statement.
Assets held on behalf of foreign central banks are a matter for the Bank of England. HM Treasury only has direct control over the UK Government’s own holdings of gold within its official reserves, which are held at the Bank of England.
