§ Sir W. Bromley-Davenportasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why it was necessary to purchase German and Swedish cash registers to speed up the issue of receipts for duty charged by Customs officials at the Dover Car Ferry Terminal; and whether he will give instructions for British machinery to be used for official purposes of this kind in future.
