HC Deb 17 June 1941 vol 372 c479
50. Captain Pilkington

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that financial accommodation is arranged for school bodies sent to America and Canada, he will arrange similar facilities for individual children and family groups?

The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Sir Kingsley Wood)

No, Sir. I fear that I cannot extend to individual children or family groups the special concession made to schools.

Captain Pilkington

Does not my right hon. Friend think it very undesirable that this unfair strain should be put upon the hospitality of friendly Americans and Canadians?

Sir K. Wood

This question has been already fully answered.

Captain Pilkington

Cannot my right hon. Friend look into it again, in view of the facts?

Sir K. Wood

No, Sir; I have already given an answer.
