§ 31. Mr. Brooksasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what arrangements exist to effect examination by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise of persons entering this country from those vessels moored off the British coast which are engaged upon radio transmissions to this country.
§ Mr. MacDermotThey are subject to the usual Customs controls and no duty-free allowances are given.
§ Mr. BrooksIs my right hon. Friend entirely satisfied that the radio pirates are not also smugglers? Can he assure the House that there is no selective entry tax upon visitors to this country from overseas?
§ Mr. MacDermotThe Customs are satisfied that they are exercising adequate 1208 control over these ships. There have been one or two unauthorised landings, but these have been adequately dealt with.
