HC Deb 20 January 1948 vol 446 c4W
65. Mr. Skeffington-Lodge

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what dollar expenditure has been involved during the last convenient period in respect of the employment of American subjects in music halls and theatres; and how does this compare with the earnings of British artistes playing in the U.S.A.

Sir S. Cripps

During the six months ending November, 1947, net remittances to the United States amounted to £174,000. Comparable figures of receipts by British artists are not available.
