HC Deb 16 February 1971 vol 811 cc389-90W
75. Mr. Cockeram

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the daily amount of money allowed to holders of British passports resident in Rhodesia from their own funds blocked in the United Kingdom when they visit the United Kingdom.

Mr. Maurice Macmillan

There is no limit on the amount which residents of Rhodesia who visit the United Kingdom, whether or not they hold British passports, may draw from an ordinary Rhodesian Sterling Account for their own and their families' living expenses in the United Kingdom. If the funds are on a Suspense Account, in which are placed sums due to residents of Rhodesia but withheld from them under the current sanctions policy, and no Rhodesian funds are available, permission is given on application for drawings at the rate of £10 per week per person if under 70, and £15 per week per person if over 70.
