HC Deb 04 July 1938 vol 338 c44W
Mr. Edwards

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the amount deposited on cameras with the customs authorities during a period of 12 months up to the latest available date?

Captain Wallace

I regret that the information desired is not available. The amounts of such deposits on cameras are not separately recorded, and the figure asked for could only be obtained by a special search of records and documents at each port, which would involve a substantial and disproportionate amount of labour.
