HC Deb 18 May 1943 vol 389 c949W
Sir P. Hannon

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether any concession on import duties can be made to members of the fighting Services who take home gifts for their families from the various theatres of war?

Mr. Assheton

As announced by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, a scheme has recently been introduced permitting members of the Forces serving overseas to send home free of duty as gifts under certain conditions four parcels a year and he is not prepared to give a further concession on the lines suggested.
