SPECIAL IMPORT LICENCES: CRITIC OF NEW METHOD
WELLINGTON, This Day (P.A.). —“The Wellington Manufacturers Association feels, from its experience in recent months, that the new policy laid down by the Government on the advice of the Import Advisory Committee, has considerably slowed down the issue of special import licences, that is licences above the basic allocation and those where special features are present,” said the secretary of the Wellington Manufacturers’ Association, Mr I. E. Allan, today. “This appears to be affecting import licences for piecegoods for manufacturing raw materials in the leather field and a number of other similar materials,” said Mr ' Allan. “It appears that the backlog has been caused by the new methods of determining requirements laid down by the Import Advisory Committee for both 1950 and 1951 licences.
“The Wellington Manufacturers’ Association is surveying the position amongst all its members at the moment and will make a report to the N&w Zealand Manufacturers’ Federation next week,” concluded Mr Allan.
