HC Deb 07 March 1933 vol 275 c982
49. Colonel GOODMAN

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether the Government will consider appointing Customs officials to reside in the Dominions to check the British requirements for Empire content in the way that Canada and Australia have officials here to check content in respect of articles imported into those Dominions as British made?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

My hon. and gallant Friend's suggestion has been noted. The Customs authorities are fully alive to the importance of obtaining correct declarations of Empire content, and my hon. and gallant Friend may rest assured that whatever steps are necessary to secure this end will be taken.
