HC Deb 08 November 1949 vol 469 c100W
59. Mr. Gammans

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the scheme for paying rewards to informers who are prepared to give evidence which may lead to the detection of offences against currency regulations; and what is the scale of rewards which is being offered.

Sir S. Cripps

There is no scheme, and no rewards have yet been paid. It is not intended to draw up any scale of rewards, but in suitable cases a reward will be given, and in determining the amount all the relevant factors will be considered, including any expenses incurred by the informant and the value of the information in the detection or prevention of breaches of the Exchange Control Act.
