HC Deb 21 July 1964 vol 699 c44W
44. Sir B. Janner

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what degree of discretion will be given to customs officers in connection with the new legislation to permit them to allow foreign tourists to bring in with them small quantities of amphetamine drugs which may have been prescribed for them by qualified doctors in their own countries.

Mr. Maurice Macmillan

No directions can be given to Customs officers until the Bill becomes law, but at the appropriate time they will be given adequate discretion to meet the legitimate needs of travellers.
