HC Deb 23 April 1951 vol 487 cc25-6
62. Mr. Driberg

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what currency arrangements are being made to enable Germans to travel to this country during the Festival of Britain; and what steps are being taken to bring the importance of the Festival to their attention.

Mr. Younger

The grant of currency for Germans to travel outside Germany is entirely a matter for the German Federal Government. So far as I am aware, no special currency allocation has been made to enable Germans to visit this country during the Festival. Full publicity is given to the importance of the Festival in all zones of Germany through the Press, the radio and other publicity media.
