HC Deb 08 July 1969 vol 786 c219W
53. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the light of the information sent to him by the hon. Member for West Ham, North, together with a communication from a French lady, giving details of a British citizen evading the currency restrictions, what steps he has taken or plans to take to prosecute in this and similar cases.

Mr. Taverne

It is our regular practice to investigate any suspected contravention of exchange control, and to provide evidence which appears to justify prosecution to the Director of Public Prosecutions for his consideration.
