§ 35. Captain PETER MACDONALDasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what steps are being taken to prevent any increase of smuggling, in view of the number of articles which have recently been added to the dutiable list?
§ Major ELLIOTThe possibility to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers is receiving close attention, but it would not be in the public interest to give particulars of steps taken to prevent smuggling.
§ Sir PERCY HARRISIs this one of the few industries which has prospered since the Import Duties Act was put into force?
§ Vice-Admiral TAYLORIs there sufficient personnel in the coast watching service to enable the coast to be patrolled as it used to be by the old coastal service?
§ Major ELLIOTI am unable to answer that question without notice.
