HC Deb 15 February 1990 vol 167 c339W
Mr. Vaz

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the reasons for the delay in releasing Mr. Ashok Gosai's consignment of sewing thread from Felixstowe dock held in container No. GSTU3182901/20ft/1854556; and when he expects it to be released.

Mr. Ryder

Customs have withheld release of the goods as they were found to have been incorrectly declared and were prohibted to be imported without a Department of Trade and Industry import licence. Release of the goods will be considered by Customs as soon as these outstanding matters have been resolved.
