asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether in view of the fact that arrangements have been made by which British tourists travelling in Europe may purchase in Great Britain prior to their journeys vouchers entitling them to have meals on trains, he will consider the desirability of making a similar arrangement under which tourists can purchase in this country vouchers entitling them to buy a reasonable quantity of petrol in any European country which they intend to visit by car.

The possibility of such a scheme has already been considered, and I am satisfied that it would not be workable.
