HC Deb 25 February 1954 vol 524 c52W
Mr. Grimond

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much personal dollar expenditure in the United States of America was authorised last year for businessmen, for Members of Parliament and for students, respectively.

Mr. R. A. Butler

About £2½million was authorised last year for businessmen's personal dollar expenditure in the U.S.A. No comparable figures are available for the personal dollar expenditure of M.P.s or students but they must be very much smaller.
