HC Deb 23 October 1950 vol 478 c311W
Major Hicks-Beach

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider a review of the currency restrictions on emigrants from this country to Canada, in view of the falling-off in the number of emigrants since 1948.

Mr. Gaitskell

I shall certainly continue to keep this question under review, but as my hon. Friend the Financial Secretary said on 17th October, it is still not possible to raise the currency allowance for emigrants to Canada. The information available does not suggest that the falling off in the number of emigrants has been closely related to the imposition of currency restrictions.
