§ Miss Joan Lestorasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will investigate the remittance of funds by organisations related to the Unification Church to Korea via the United States of America under the exchange control regulations.
§ Mr. Robert SheldonCharitable organisations are normally permitted under the Exchange Control Act 1947 to remit funds abroad provided they are being sent to a society, organisation or individual directly engaged in bona fide missionary, charitable, educational or cultural work. Inquiries are made as to how the funds will be spent and exchange control permission is refused in cases where the authorities are not satisfied that the funds will be used for broadly charitable purposes.
