HC Deb 28 November 1950 vol 481 c947
56. Mr. Keeling

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will now announce any relaxation of the procedure in respect of articles sent from abroad for repair.

Mr. Gaitskell

Relaxations in the Customs procedure for articles sent from abroad for repair and re-exportation have recently been introduced as an experimental measure.

Mr. Keeling

Does the Chancellor agree that this useful contribution to the balance of trade ought to be encouraged, even at the risk of some very slight loss of revenue?

Mr. Gaitskell

I prefer to see how this experiment works out before committing myself to anything further.
