§ Mr. HORNIMAN (Chelsea)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will state how motor cars taken abroad or entering England for touring or racing purposes are identified, especially when they subsequently return by other Channel ports, and how they are differentiated from cars exported or imported for purposes of sale, many such cars for this purpose travelling by road and not being obviously different in appearance.
§ Mr. KEARLEYAccording to a Customs General Order, entries are required for all motor cars imported into the United Kingdom, and specifications for all motor cars exported, whether accompanied or unaccompanied. The import entry has to state whether the car is imported for sale, and if it is entered by or on behalf of private persons, whether the car is imported for the first time for permanent use in this country. If the car is a British car returned the fact has to be stated. The specification has to state whether the car is exported for sale, or if exported as private effects whether it has been sold to persons abroad.
