HC Deb 09 September 1941 vol 374 c32
57. Commander Bower

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that, owing to currency control, many British children evacuated to the United States of America are partly, or entirely, dependent on American charity for their support, whereas a number of American citizens are in a like situation in this country; and whether he will enter into negotiations with the United States authorities with a view to reciprocal action to end this state of affairs?

Sir K. Wood

No, Sir. I am not aware of any currency regulations preventing remittances to American citizens in this country, so that no question of reciprocity could arise.
