HC Deb 28 November 1969 vol 792 cc163-4W
Mr. John Page

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to what extent parcels and gifts coming from Rhodesia are subjected to different checks by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise from those coming from other sources; and what instructions he has issued in this connection.
