HC Deb 17 July 1947 vol 440 c64W
Mr. Asterley Jones

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why there is no difference between the amount of currency permitted to be taken abroad by married and unmarried emigrants; and whether he will permit an increased amount in the case of married men.

Mr. Dalton

The exchange allowance of £5,000 over four years was settled as reasonable for a family; for simplicity of administration it also applies to unmarried emigrants.
