§ 114. Mr. T. J. Brooksasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that first-class passengers on the s.s. "Oueen Elizabeth," travelling to and from New York, can purchase with English Treasury notes, shirts, stockings, underwear, etc., at the shops on the ship without having to surrender dockets or coupons; and if he will take steps to prevent this.
§ Sir S. CrippsThe number of Treasury notes British subjects are allowed to take out of the country is limited and those spent on board ship cannot be spent on the other side. I do not think I can prohibit British subjects from buying at these shops, but the major part of the sales from the shops would be for foreign currency.
