HC Deb 03 November 1966 vol 735 c172W
Mr. Stratton Mills

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps he is taking to prevent United Kingdom citizens obtaining foreign currency in the Republic of Ireland.

Mr. MacDermot

It is illegal under United Kingdom law for residents of the United Kingdom to obtain foreign currency in the Republic of Ireland without Bank of England authority, and the authorities in the Republic of Ireland co-operate to prevent evasion of the United Kingdom control.
