Customs Formalities (Train Journeys)

41.

Mr. Driberg
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why the Customs authorities will not agree to the British Railways Board's proposal that Customs formalities for travellers coming by the night-ferry from Europe to London should be carried out on the train, as they are on the Continent.

Mr. Higgins
No such proposal has been made to Customs in recent years.
