Men’s Socks.—The exemption relating to men’s socks composed wholly of silk, artificial silk or nylon, or mixtures of the same, except that the foot may contain cotton, is amended by the words "or other synthetic fibre" after the word "nylon." Electric Irons.—The classification electric irons (excluding travelling irons, electric steam irons, and no-cord irons) .is changed from a D item (licences granted only in execeptional circumstances) to an SD item (applications considered for licences for goods not made in New Zealand). Royal Visit Souvenirs.—Consideration will be given to applications for licences to import from non-scheduled countries souvenir goods for sale in connexion with the Royal visit. Such applications may cover goods classed under D items (licences granted only in exceptional circumstances). The goods must be clearly identifiable as souvenirs.
