HC Deb 20 October 1949 vol 468 c53W
64. Mr. Erroll

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he proposes to increase the daily business man's allowance when visiting the United States of America to offset the reduction in the present rate caused by the devaluation of the pound sterling.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

Yes. The daily business man's allowance for the United States of America has been increased in the light of the new dollar/sterling exchange rate.
