HC Deb 05 December 1946 vol 431 cc119-20W
62. Mr. N. Macpherson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer on what grounds duty is demanded on cameras and cinecameras brought into this country by Dominions students for their personal use; and whether the same rule applies to tourists and journalists.

Mr. Dalton

All cameras and cinecameras brought into this country from abroad are liable to duty, but concessions are made if the traveller is only making a short visit, or if the camera is an old one and is for his own personal use.
