HC Deb 01 April 1965 vol 709 c280W
Sir C. Osborne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will investigate why temporary charge import certificates on leather imported from Australia in the s.s. "Canberra", which docked in Southampton on 10th November, 1964, details of which have been sent to him by the hon. Member for Louth, have not yet been issued; if he is aware that a complaint by the British Footwear Manufacturers Federation to him on 18th February has produced only a printed card in acknowledgement; if he will take steps to end such delays in imports and exports at the docks; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. MacDermot

I am having inquiries made and will write to the hon. Member.
