HC Deb 07 November 1955 vol 545 c145W
43. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in order to facilitate the interchange of visitors between the United Kingdom and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, he will approach the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics with a view to securing a more equitable rate of currency exchange for British visitors to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Mr. Turton

My right hon. Friend shares the hon. Member's views that the introduction of a realistic exchange rate for the rouble would do much to facilitate the interchange of visits between this country and the Soviet Union. In conjunction with his Western colleagues, he has already taken this matter up at the Geneva Conference.
