§ 49. Mr. Denvilleasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider exempting from Customs and Excise Duty tobacco, beer, wines, minerals, etc., supplied to British and Imperial Forces?
§ Sir J. SimonIf my hon. Friend is referring to Forces in this country, I regret that I could not contemplate any general exemption such as my hon. Friend suggests. I would, however, remind him that under Customs Regulations the commodities referred to may be sent free of United Kingdom Duty to His Majesty's Forces serving abroad and to His Majesty's sea-going ships in commission.
