HC Deb 08 August 1940 vol 364 c465W
Sir J. Mellor

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps are normally taken to secure that, when British nationals are granted permits to proceed outside British jurisdiction, the ability of His Majesty's Government to requisition their marketable foreign assets is not impaired?

Sir K. Wood

The Passport Office, by whom exit permits are granted, works in close co-operation with the Exchange Control in regard to this matter.
