§ Mr. Roseasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will withhold consent to exchange control for payments to ex-Nazi war criminals in Germany by British newspapers publishing their memoirs.
§ Mr. TaverneNo. As the House has been told before, it would not be right for the Treasury to seek to operate a moral censorship through exchange control. Nor would it be practicable as it would involve the central scrutiny of thousands of applications and unacceptable delay to legitimate transactions.
