§ 1. Mr. Hurdasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will review the exchange regulations to allow residents in Great Britain to have some dollars when visiting Canada and the United States of America as tourists so that the ordinary people on both sides of the Atlantic may get to know each other better.
§ Mr. PowellI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Eastbourne (Sir C. Taylor) on 7th February.
§ Mr. HurdCan we take it that the Chancellor recognises the desirability of ordinary people in this country being able to visit Canada and the United States as freely as possible? If he does, will he have consultation with his opposite numbers in Ottawa and in Washington to hasten the day when this can be done?
§ Mr. PowellThat is my right hon. Friend's point of view. Indeed, he said on the occasion I mentioned that he was anxious to provide a basic travel allowance for the dollar area as soon as circumstances permit.
