HC Deb 22 December 1965 vol 722 cc475-7W
Mr. Ridsdale

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why no solution to the dispute between Messrs. Carless, Capel and Leonard, and Customs and Excise can be found; and in what respect the present facts as officially reported to him are incorrect.

Mr. MacDermot

As the hon. Member will be aware from the discussion which he had with me, it is hoped that a solution can be found by the introduction of a suitable chemical marker for oil intended for duty-free purposes. The report to which I think he refers was incorrect on certain specific points but mainly in implying that the Customs are depriving the firm of a right to which they are entitled.
