§ Mr. Mappasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why a British-born citizen on holiday in Eire and using a car reputably hired in Eire is denied admittance to Northern Ireland by car when all other persons can be admitted in like circumstances.
§ Mr. Maurice MacmillanCars imported by people who are principally resident in any part of the United Kingdom, regardless of their nationality or place or birth, are not legally entitled to the Customs concession under which motor vehicles brought to this country by non-residents, for their own use here on a temporary visit, may be admitted without payment of customs charges.150W The same rules apply in Northern Ireland as in all other parts of the United Kingdom. United Kingdom residents on holiday in the Republic of Ireland may thus not bring a car with them into Northern Ireland, whether or not it has been hired in the Republic, unless the appropriate Customs charges have already been, or are then, paid.
