HC Deb 24 October 1950 vol 478 c323W
65. Mr. W. R. A. Hudson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that the withdrawal by His Majesty's Customs and Excise of the Customs sufferance hitherto held by the Hull Forge Wharf Company Limited, is a threat to the livelihood of an ex-Service man who has invested his life savings in that company; and if he will see that the sufferance is restored.

Mr. Gaitskell

No sufferance privilege has been withdrawn and, therefore, no question of restoration arises. The owners of this wharf have been seeking authority for its extended use, but this has not been granted as adequate facilities are available elsewhere in the Hull docks.
