§ 67. Mr. Nigel Daviesasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that at Northolt Aerodrome 198W travellers leaving the country are frequently asked how much money they are carrying, both by customs officials and by the special currency control; and whether he will take steps to ensure that travellers will not be asked the same question twice over.
§ Sir S. CrippsThe duty of enforcing the currency prohibitions is laid to both customs and immigration officers. The procedure provides a double check against evasions, and I am not prepared to modify it.
69. Air-Commodore Harveyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is now in a position to remove restrictions of currency between this country and France.
§ Sir S. CrippsNo. The financial arrangements between this country and France cannot be considered independently of the discussions now proceeding for a European Payments Union.
