§ 43. Sir GODFREY COLLINSasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what are the Regulations relating to transit goods for the occupied areas of Germany; what evidence is required, for example, for goods in transit for Austria; and whether there is any differentiation in the treatment of British, French and Belgian traders?
§ Lieut.-Colonel BUCKLEYI have been asked to reply. Goods consigned from a country other than Germany by way of the occupied territories to a country other than Germany enjoy the usual transit facilities, i.e., they are exempt from duty both on entry into and departure from the occupied territory, if the transit Regulations are complied with. I am sending the hon. Member a copy of the Regulations relating to international transit, which were issued by the Customs Managing Committee of the High Commission on the 22nd February last. So far as I am aware, the answer to the last part of the queston is in the negative.
