HC Deb 12 November 1964 vol 701 c107W
Mr. A. Pearson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the United Kingdom being a signatory to an agreement in 1950 to grant duty-free entry for books and other educational publications, he will exempt from the import charge of 15 per cent. books and other education materials required by teacher-training colleges and similar educational institutions.

Mr. Diamond

As my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced in the House on 11th November, books and other educational publications will be exempt from the import charge.
