No. 99.—Petition of W. B. White, of Waipukurau Praying for remission of sales tax on a second-hand motor-car, and other relief. I am directed to report that the Committee has carefully considered this petition, and recommends it be referred to the Government for most favourable consideration in that the car in question be regarded as having been in use for not less than twelve months overseas, and therefore qualifying for the exemption attaching to personal effects. 13th November, 1947. No. 76.—Petition of The New Zealand Indian Central Association (Incorporated) Praying that the age-qualification for the entry of Indians into New Zealand be relaxed in respect of those Indians who held permits prior to the war and were prevented from coming owing to transport difficulties and who are now over age. I am directed to report that the Public Petitions M to Z Committee has carefully considered this petition and recommends that the Government give most favourable consideration in granting permits to a total of not more than fifteen in respect of the classes of persons mentioned in the petition. A. M. Finlay, Chairman. 21st November, 1947.
