§ Mr. David Howellasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) what studies are currently being undertaken by the Board of Customs and Excise in order to provide clear and more easily visible information for the public at all points of entry as to their rights in regard to customs regulations and practices;
(2) whether he will take steps to introduce improved methods for informing the public about their rights in relation to Customs and Excise at all points of entry.
§ Mr. Harold LeverThe Customs are always willing to consider whether any improvements can be made in informing travellers about their rights in relation to Customs and Excise, and their notices to passengers are kept under continuous review. The hon. Member is already aware that they are preparing a new notice for issue when articles have to be seized from passengers. If he has anything else in mind, perhaps he would let me know.
