HC Deb 29 April 1948 vol 450 c71W
Mr. J. McKay

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that parents of those who died on active service in Canada are anxious to visit their graves, but that the amount of money which can be taken for foreign travel is too small for a Canadian journey; and if he will therefore allow such parents to take some stipulated amount above the ordinary limit for such a visit at their own expense.

Sir S. Cripps

No foreign exchange is normally allowed for visits to Canada, but special provision is made for those wishing to visit the graves of close relatives. The amount allowed in the case of Canada is a maximum of£25 per head. The applicant will, of course, be permitted to pay his return fare in sterling in this country.
