HC Deb 23 May 1972 vol 837 c313W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that whereas the official rate of exchange for the £ sterling is 13.30 francs the French banks are only allowing British tourists 12.50 francs to the £ sterling; and if when he next visits Paris or has discussions within the European Economic Community he will raise this matter with the French Ministers concerned.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

I have nothing to add to the answer given by my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to the hon. Member for Manchester, Wythenshawe (Mr. Alfred Morris) on 18th May, 1972.—[Vol. 837, c. 192.]
