HC Deb 14 February 1980 vol 978 cc806-7W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is satisfied that import documentation relating to origin accompanying garments entering from other EEC and EFTA countries is being effectively policed by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise officials, in view of the irregular practices that have occurred in Switzerland.

Mr. Peter Rees

[pursuant to his reply, 13 February 1980]: I am satisfied that, where such documentation is required under Community rules, the Customs are carrying out the necessary checks.
