HC Deb 14 October 1946 vol 427 c593
13. Wing-Commander Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in the interests of the British tourist industry, he will approach the French Government with a view to their allowing individual French nationals visiting this country to bring with them an amount of money equivalent to that allowed by the British Government to British citizens spending their holidays in France.

Mr. Mayhew

I will certainly bear this suggestion in mind, though it must be recognised that the French are very short of sterling. Our financial experts hold periodical meetings with the French experts and the tourist question is expected to be discussed by them in the near future.
