§ Lieut.-Commander Tufnellasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if any decision has yet been reached as to whether men now serving in the Forces overseas 48W will, after the war, be allowed to bring back to this country, duty free, a limited amount of dutiable articles as presents for their wives, relatives and friends; and if he has any statement to make on this matter.
§ Sir J. AndersonI do not think that any special decision is necessary in this connection. It is the practice of the Customs to allow all persons arriving in this country to bring limited amounts of dutiable goods free of duty, and my hon. and gallant Friend need not apprehend that the Customs Officers will be unduly strict in the exceptional circumstances which he has in mind.
