§ 52. Mr. R. MORRISONasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether goods held up pending the decision of the Customs officers as to whether they are dutiable or not are chargeable for warehouse rent?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLWarehouses and sheds for the accommodation of imported goods are provided by dock companies, wharfingers, etc., and not by the Crown. Any question of a charge for warehouse rent is therefore a matter for settlement between the warehouse proprietor and the importer concerned.
