WOOLLEN PIECE GOODS
MINISTER ON IMPORT CONTROL The abolition of import control for woollen piece goods from Britain was suggested recently by the Associated Chaml ers of Commerce to the Minister of Industries and Commerce (Mr A. H. Nordmeyer). This proposal was made because woollen piece goods are in such short supply, and Mr Nordmeyer was asked to recommend to the Minister of Customs (Mr W. Nash) that the usual procedure of application by the importer and the issue of a licence 11 a later date should be dispensed with. In his reply, Mr Nordmeyer said that the representations by the Associated Chambers would be borne in mind in administering the import control regulations in New Zealand. He added that there were many goods besides woollen piece goods which were not available from abroad to the extent of New Zealand’s requirements, and it was still vitally important for the Government to be aware of the total value of overseas funds committed by import licences. The licences issued, even though less than would Le the case if more woollen piece goods were available, were nevertheless a considerable commitment of overseas funds.
