HC Deb 18 June 1948 vol 452 c91W
Colonel Wheatley

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if conducted tours to Switzerland have any priority for currency over individual applications.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

No. Separate allocations of Swiss currency are made for travellers who make inclusive bookings with travel agencies and for those who make their own arrangements. In either case individual applications have to be made to the Authorisation Office for Travel to Switzerland either direct or through the intermediary of a travel agency. No part of the allocation of the 45 per cent. reserved for independent travellers is used for persons taking conducted tours.
