HC Deb 19 December 1967 vol 756 c347W
53. Mr. Blaker

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his latest estimate of the effectiveness of the £50 foreign travel limit in encouraging residents in the United Kingdom to take their holidays in the United Kingdom during the tourist year 1966–67; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Roy Jenkins:

I have no doubt that the restriction has had some effect of this kind but it cannot be quantified.

Mr. J. H. Osborn

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received about the need for a special currency allowance for those wishing to watch the Winter Olympics at Grenoble; and what reply he has sent.

Mr. Roy Jenkins:

Representations have been made by three hon. Members. They have been told that no additional allowance will be made available.
