§ 64. Captain Waterhouseasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware of the inconvenience caused to manufacturers by delays in getting Prototypes from abroad through the Customs; and if he will issue a special instruction to his officials to lessen, as far as practicable, this handicap to British trade.
§ Sir S. CrippsIt is certainly the intention both of the Customs authorities and myself that there should be no avoidable delay, and I am not aware of any failure in this respect. But if the hon.102W and gallant Member will supply sufficient particulars of the date and port of importation of any Prototypes so delayed, I will have inquiries made.
