HC Deb 05 November 1946 vol 428 c208W
67. Sir J. Mellor

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury why two parcels, notified to the addressee under reference SW 899/900, were detained by H.M. Customs, Liverpool, for over two months.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

They did not comply with the conditions under which gift parcels could be admitted without a Board of Trade licence. In view, however, of the relaxations for gift parcels as announced on 14th October by my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade, they have now been handed over to the Post Office for delivery.
