HC Deb 25 June 1953 vol 516 c2085
26. Mr. G. H. R. Rogers

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what foreign currency facilities were provided for the Automobile Association in connection with their European activities during the last financial year.

The Economic Secretary to the Treasury (Mr. R. Maudling)

It is not the practice to give details of foreign currency facilities provided for individual applicants.

Mr. Rogers

If I send the Economic Secretary some information which has been given me about this case, will he examine it?

Mr. Maudling

I should be glad to do that.

Mr. Crouch

May I ask my hon. Friend, in fairness to the A.A., if he will undertake to publish the result of his inquiries in due course?

Mr. Maudling

No, I have made it clear that it is not the practice and never has been, for good reasons, to comment by Question and answer in this House on individual cases.
