§ 74. Mr. Peter Freemanasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will con- 452 sider the possibility of allowing small amounts of money, say up to £5, to be sent to friends outside the British Isles.
§ Mr. DaltonRemittances may be made freely to any destination within the sterling area. I cannot at present give general permission for such remittances to destinations outside the sterling area, but applications on grounds of hardship will receive consideration.
§ Mr. FreemanWould there be an opportunity of making some suggestion later on in regard to non-sterling areas?
§ Mr. DaltonThe decision not to give permission outside the sterling area is a general decision of policy, and I shall be prepared to consider any particular cases of individual hardship which my hon. Friend puts up. No doubt the general question can be debated at a suitable moment.
