§ 61. Mr. Viantasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, as a matter of principle, remittances payable to adult evacuees in the United States of America on the footing that they are in charge of children remain payable in cases where they are in gainful employment and in receipt of a dollar income and in cases where they have taken out first naturalisation papers; and whether he is aware that remittances are being made in such cases?
§ The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Sir Kingsley Wood)Yes, Sir. I should not desire to refuse applications to purchase exchange up to the equivalent of £10 per month to be transferred to such persons if they take gainful employment and so relieve the burden on their hosts. I am aware that remittances are allowed in such cases. As I have already explained, remittances are not confined to British nationals.
