Can anyone help Jill: For the last eighteen months I've been trying to
\nfind out exactly what was the sterling travel allowance (Exchange Control)
\nwhich British citizens were allowed to take out of the U.K. in July 1964.<\/p>\n

H.M. Customs and Excise have come up with five possible answers but
\nbasically admit they don't know; the Treasury have no comment – I seem to
\nhave exhausted every possible avenue, having endlessly trawled almanacs,
\nnewspapers, the Web etc.<\/p>\n

A Globetrotter member – Rene Richards reports – it was £25
\nin the early 60's reaching £50 in 1970– however I know from a
\ncontemporary Cunard document of 1961 that it was £50 then, so did it go
\ndown and if so when?<\/p>\n

The novel for which I need this is due for publication by Penguin in 2003
\nand we're reaching final copy-editing any moment now, so any help would be
\nmost gratefully received – so, offering my thanks in advance.<\/p>\n

If you feel you can help Jill, she can be contacted at jill@laurimore.fsnet.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n
