Import Control
Sir, —After reading the Minis-
ter's reply to “1984” one can * omy repeat the question in the last sentence of his letter: “Could k > greater depth of interference be reached?” Can it be seriously contended by anyone of average common sense and intelligence that it is necessary for the good government of this country “to preserve some measure of equality” between those persons who have fathers-in-law in England and those who have not? This would appear to mean that a father in England cannot send his daughter in New Zealand a present because other women in New Zealand have not got fathers in England. It is also indicated by the subsequent letter on a similar subject that, presumably for similar reasons, a man may not buy a vehicle in England with money from his father’s estate and bring it out to New Zealand although to do so would release one more vehicle in New Zealand for someone who has not got access to overseas funds. —Yours, etc., OVERBOARD. July 1, 1959.
