§ Mr. D. Jonesasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he will publish a list of the separate Customs and Excise stations around the shores of Great Britain where Customs and Excise officers are stationed on call for the purpose of facilitating the arrival and departure of goods or passengers by ship.
§ Mr. H. BrookeCustoms and Excise officers are assigned to places where there is permanent full-time work, and it is not the practice to post them to separate stations around the shores for employment "on call" elsewhere. But at certain approved places where freight traffic is occasional, provision is made for the clearance of goods by arranging for the attendance of an officer stationed in the neighbourhood who is mainly employed on other duties. For such attendances arrangements have to be made in advance of the arrival of the ship. These places are
Ardrishaig, Campbeltown, Invergordon, Kircudbright, Largs, Lochgilphead, Lyme Regis, Maryport, Millom, Northam, Padstow, Portland, Rye, Stranraer, Tobermory, Topsham, Troon, Whitstable, Wigtown, Wirral, Woodbridge.
