HC Deb 05 August 1947 vol 441 c1285
47. Mr. Mikardo

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the import-export gap, he will reduce the maximum currency allowance for Britons travelling abroad.

Mr. Dalton

I would ask my hon. Friend to await tomorrow's Debate, when a statement on this subject will be made.

Viscount Hinchingbrooke

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the Treasury policy of encouraging our invisible export trade will be frustrated if this proposal is accepted?
