RE: [OT] Budget

["Steve Norman" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just looking at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4351777.stm
and it seem=
s to imply that the import duty hasn't been approved but he has just asked
=
the european commision about it:

I'm a frequent traveller. Is he doing anything for me?=20

The chancellor confirmed that he has written to the European Commission, =
requesting that the tax-free limit on goods brought into the UK from
outsid=
e the European Union be increased from =A3145 to =A31,000.=20

It also appears that this would only be for travellers and not personal
imp=
orts.
