HC Deb 24 June 1971 vol 819 cc330-1W
Mr. Ashton

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will investigate the confiscation of Yugoslav imported covers by the Customs and Excise Department from Rinco U.K. Limited, Carlton, near Worsop; and, in view of the seasonal nature of the work there, the genuine misunderstanding, and the high area unemployment, if he will return the covers and issue a licence for import subject to duty being paid.

Mr. Anthony Grant

As the covers have already been imported illegally and seized by H.M. Customs, this is now a matter for my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to whom I see that the hon. Member has addressed a Question.
