HC Deb 05 May 1982 vol 23 c64W
Mr. Proctor

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in the light of his reply to the hon. Member for Basildon of 26 April, Official Report, c. 208, he will ask International Social Service to revise the baggage allowance under its repatriation scheme on an annual basis and to take account of the current rate of inflation; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Raison

No. The baggage allowances are within the discretion of International Social Service of Great Britain which reviews them from time to time, having regard to any increases in the cost of tranporting baggage overseas.
