HC Deb 20 January 1967 vol 739 c139W
Mr. David Howell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will make temporary concessions on the foreign travel allowance for private persons wishing to visit Montreal for the forthcoming world exhibition, EXPO 67.

Mr. Callaghan

I regret I cannot do this. Currency issued for travel to one non-sterling country is freely convertible into any other currency. A special allowance for visitors to Canada would therefore be impracticable as well as contrary to our international obligations.
