Response of the Office of Chief Counsel
Division of Corporation Finance

Re:

CurrencyShares British Pound Sterling Trust
Incoming letter dated September 6, 2006

Based on the facts presented in your letter, the Division will not recommend enforcement action to the Commission if CurrencyShares British Pound Sterling Trust complies with the certification requirements of Rules 13a-14(a) and 15d-14(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as applicable, by providing certifications in the exact form of the certification provided in your letter.

This position is based on the representations made to the Division in your letter. Any different facts or conditions might require the Division to reach a different conclusion. Further, this response expresses the Division's position on enforcement action only and does not express any legal conclusion on the question presented.

Sincerely,

Charles Kwon
Special Counsel
