HC Deb 03 March 1966 vol 725 c388W
Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps to ensure that import duty and the temporary import surcharge are not avoided in respect of imported catalogues mailed direct by a foreign firm to individual addresses in the United Kingdom to the order of a United Kingdom firm, by ensuring that duty is charged on the United Kingdom firm at the time when it settles the account due to the foreign firm.

Mr. MacDermot

Apart from other considerations, I do not think that the hon. Member's proposal would be practicable.
