Observation

Sir: If Mr Rudd (In the City', 17 October) would kindly put me in touch with one or two of the many observers in the City who apparently are willing to offer heavy odds in favour of the reimposition of exchange control by Christmas (1981?) I, and I am sure my bank manager come January 1982, would be most appreciative.
