§ 79. Colonel DAYasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he is aware of fines being inflicted upon persons bringing silk stockings into this country as personal luggage; and, in view of the fact that small quantities of tobacco and spirits are allowable to sojourners on the Continent, will he cause Regulations to be made to allow women passengers similar privileges in respect of small articles containing silk?
§ Mr. McNEILLPassengers are required to declare personal belongings of a dutiable character to the Customs officers, and where this is done fines are never inflicted. Silk articles contained in personal baggage are treated on the same lines as tobacco and spirits, but in all cases dutiable articles must be declared.
