§ 25. Mr. Onslowasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will extend the hours authorised for free attendance by Customs officials at London Airport.
§ Mr. MacDermotMy right hon. Friend is considering this as part of a general review of charges for attendance by Customs officials.
§ Mr. OnslowWould not the hon. and learned Gentleman agree that the £100,000 which is at present levied on operators through London Airport for Customs attendance outside the permitted hours is a serious handicap for one of Britain's major ports?
§ Mr. MacDermotAs I have said, the matter is being reviewed. I do not wish to comment further than that. I am aware of the figure mentioned.
