HC Deb 23 March 1982 vol 20 c328W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps are being taken by the income tax authorities in Wales to check that all taxes due have been paid by Irish tinkers before they are allowed to embark at Holyhead with their personal property before their return to the Republic of Ireland.

Mr. Ridley

The introduction of a tax clearance system at ports has been considered on a number of occasions, but the conclusion has invariably been that it is impracticable.
