HC Deb 22 October 1968 vol 770 cc261-2W
68. Mr. Rankin

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much foreign currency was saved in the travel year 1967 by restricting travel allowance to £50; and how much he expects to save in the year ending 31st October.

Mr. Diamond

Foreign currency expenditure on travel was £29 million less in the calendar year 1967 than in 1966. The previous continually rising trend in travel expenditure suggests that the saving was greater than this figure. I expect the position to be similar in 1968.
