§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what, on average or on actual basis, is the daily return to the Treasury for Customs duty paid at airports and ports within Great Britain for any convenient stated period of time; and what it was on Tuesday 27th 458W February on the occasion of the Civil Service strike.
§ Mr. HigginsThe daily remittance of revenue to the Treasury does not distinguish Customs from Excise duties. For Customs and Excise duties together, the average daily remittance is currently about £18 million; on 27th February it was £24 million.
