HC Deb 05 February 1952 vol 495 c105W
68. Sir H. Williams

asked the Economic Secretary to the Treasury how much foreign currency has been provided in the last 12 months for the purpose of journeys abroad by Ministers, Peers and Members of Parliament on official or semi-official business.

Sir A. Salter

The information about Ministers is not centrally available and it would take a disproportionate amount of labour and time to obtain it. No separate record is kept of grants of currency to peers and Members of Parliament for the purpose of journeys abroad on official or semi-official business.
