HC Deb 21 June 1979 vol 968 cc667-8W
Mr. Rost

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will discuss with the British Tourist Authority its concern at the proliferation of bureaux de change many of which offer tourists to the United Kingdom exchange rates and rates of commission unreasonably out of line with market rates and commissions offered by authorised banks.

Mr. Tebbit

I should be ready to make arrangements for the British Tourist Authority to discuss this matter with the Department if that authority should wish to do so. If my hon. Friend has evidence of abuse, perhaps he will send it either to the authority or to me.
