HC Deb 19 December 1969 vol 793 cc505-6W
Mr. Hooson

asked the President of the Board of Trade why a 40 per cent. import levy has been charged on a 26-year-old steam engine bought in Austria by the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway Preservation Society after the Society had been told by the customs authorities that no levy would be payable.

Mr. Taverne

I have been asked to reply.

I will write to the hon. Member.
