HC Deb 06 February 1948 vol 446 c342W
Mr. T. Reid

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what is the rate of import duty on various types of motor cars in Nigeria.

Mr. Rees-Williams

The present rate of import duty on motor cars and motor lorries, whether imported, assembled or in parts to be assembled is £5 per vehicle. To this duty is added a surtax equal to one fourth part of the duty otherwise chargeable which makes the total of duties payable £6 5s.
