§ 63. Sir J. Maitlandasked the Secretary to the Treasury if he is aware that British motor cars, which have sustained accidents abroad requiring replacements carrying import duty, are retained at the port of entry until an assessment has been made and that this can cause great inconvenience to returning British subjects through no fault of their own; and if wider local discretion can be allowed, in bona fide cases, to let travellers continue their journey without interruption.
§ Mr. du CannIf security is given for any Customs charges which may be found to be payable, repaired cars arc not detained by the Customs.
