Mr. T. Henderson

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what was the total amount of Customs duty collected on foodstuffs for the financial year ended 31st March last?

Captain Crookshank

The approximate amount of Customs duties collected during the financial year 1938–39 on foodstuffs, including tea, coffee, cocoa and certain foodstuffs used in part as feeding stuffs for animals (which owing to their nature cannot be separately distinguished) was £41,852,000.
