HC Deb 29 April 1988 vol 132 c287W
Mr. Onslow

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what representations he has received concerning the effect of current restrictions on the temporary export of personal computers by British business men; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alan Clark

I am aware of the problems which controls on the temporary export of personal computers have been causing British business men. In agreement with Her Majesty's Customs, steps have been taken to ease the burden. An export licence will no longer be required for the temporary export to most free world destinations of many small personal computers for the visitor's own use.
