HC Deb 23 June 1925 vol 185 cc1293-4
55. Mr. T. THOMSON

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether any of the more valuable plumage seized under the Importation of Plumage (Prohibition) Act, 1921, has been sold for re-export; and whether any instructions have been issued which would permit of this being done?

Mr. GUINNESS

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. As regards the second part, I am informed that the existing Departmental instructions do not permit of the sale of seized plumage for re-export.
