HC Deb 31 August 1914 vol 66 c372
Mr. PETO

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he can state for the information of the public, whether parcels intended for His Majesty's Forces on the Continent, which contain articles such as tobacco, which would be liable to Customs Duty on entering France in ordinary circumstances, can be sent without risk of their delivery being delayed or prevented?

Mr. TENNANT

This is a question which, as it involves a foreign country, should come through the Foreign Office, and there has not been time obviously to get the necessary information. I hope to be able to get an answer from the Foreign Office.
