§ Mr. DAYasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the duty-paid value of goods seized by Customs officials for the year ended 31st December, 1928, the amount of these goods that were sold by public auction or private competitive tender, and the amounts realised under each heading?
§ Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCEI regret that I am unable to furnish this information as the particulars requested are not readily available and could only be ascertained by a considerable expenditure of public time which would not, in my opinion, be justified.
