HC Deb 24 February 1949 vol 461 c314W
54. Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the amount of Swiss francs made available, respectively, to tourists and to those who for medical reasons had to go to Switzerland for treatment in each of the last three years.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

As the hon. Member is aware, we do not normally publish details of our balance of payments with individual countries. The amount available for United Kingdom tourist expenditure in Switzerland during the 12 months ending 30th April, 1949 is, however, £5 million. It is estimated that the present annual rate of expenditure on health travel to Switzerland is about £400,000.
