HC Deb 21 June 1944 vol 401 c181
57. Mr. Turton

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies in which African Colonies motor-cars and bicycles can at present be imported free of duty.

Colonel Stanley

In the Gold Coast, all cars and bicycles are admitted free of duty; and in Sierra Leone cars only are so admitted under the British preferential tariff.

Mr. Turton

Colonel Stanley
