§ 38. Mr. Norman Bowerasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if Customs Duty and Purchase Tax are charged on trophies won in sporting events by British subjects abroad and brought back to this country.
§ Sir S. CrippsThere is a statutory exemption for trophies shown to the satisfaction of the Customs to have been awarded abroad for distinction in certain fields, including sport.
§ Mr. BowerIf I send to the Chancellor particulars of any cases of this sort in which duty and Purchase Tax have been charged will the money be refunded?
§ Sir S. CrippsI will certainly look into the cases.
