HC Deb 26 April 1968 vol 763 cc95-6W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to what extent Customs Officers made a check or inquiries into duty-free goods purchased by the sur- viving passengers involved in the recent air disaster at Heathrow; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Harold Lever

There was no Customs check on passengers. The senior Customs Officer chatted informally with a few passengers so as to obtain information relating to certain goods. These inquiries did not relate to any Customs liability of the passengers themselves.
