HC Deb 07 August 1947 vol 441 c180W
58. Mr. Janner

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the fact that U.S. citizens can buy British clothing in the U.S.A. without the use of coupons and that there is substantial advantage for this country in Americans coming and having their clothes made in this country rather than we should send textiles to the U.S.A. for making into such clothes there, he will, before the end of the current tourist season, simplify the present arrangements under which foreigners visiting this country may purchase British clothes and other goods with their own foreign currency.

Sir S. Cripps

I am having this matter examined further, but the difficulties are serious.
