§ 41. Mr. Donnerasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many cars have been brought into this country on condition that they are re-exported, and, in fact, not so taken out again but sold in the United Kingdom during the last 12 months.
§ The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Sir Stafford Cripps)It is not yet known how many of these cars have been sold, but since 1st March last some 115 cars imported under the touring regulations have been reported as overdue for re-exportation.
§ Mr. DonnerIn view of the relatively small number, will the Chancellor of the Exchequer state why three members of the Government, during a Debate on this subject, refused to give the figure, implied that it was substantial, and thereby grossly misled the House?
§ Sir S. CrippsI regard that figure as very substantial.
