§ 66 Sir H. BRITTAINasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any progress has been made by the railways 1654 concerned to carry out a Customs examination on certain express trains on this side of the Channel, folioing the example set between London and Paris?
§ Mr. McNEILLNo proposals for the Customs examination of passengers' baggage on express trains from Channel ports to London railway termini have been submitted by any of the companies concerned.
§ Sir H. BRITTAINMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman to believe that the Chancellor of the Exchequer said he was perfectly ready that this should take place, and is there no way of getting the railway companies to follow the example of the Paris-Calais trains?
§ Mr. McNEILLWhat my right hone. Friend said was that he was willing to consider any proposals that came from the railway companies. Those proposals have not come.
§ Sir H. BRITTAINHow could you get them?
