HC Deb 13 December 1934 vol 296 c560
36. Mr. RANKIN

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the imposition of a leaving tax upon the sea-fares of British and other subjects returning home from abroad; and whether, in view of the burden that such taxes place on foreign intercourse and travel, he proposes to take any steps to urge the abolition thereof?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

If my hon. Friend will indicate more precisely the taxes to which he refers and the countries in which they are imposed I shall be glad to look into the matter.
