by the President of the Board of Trade (Paper

Committee appointed under the Safe guarding of

tion for a Duty on enamelled hollow-ware.
In accordance with the finding of the Committee
the President of the Board of Trade, in his
Memorandum, recommended that the Cabinet should
approve the inclusion of a Duty of 25 per cent.
on raw enamelled hollow-ware for a period of
five years in this year's Finance Bill; that
the Duty should come into force as soon as
possible after the necessary Ways and Means
resolution has been introduced; and proposing
to publish the Report of the Committee, in
accordance with the established practice } just
before the introduction of the resolution.
The President of the Board of Trade
informed the Cabinet that there had been three
Inquiries into this question. As the result of
the first Inquiry a Duty had been imposed; as
the result of the second it had been taken off;
and now the Duty was again recommended.
The Cabinet agreed
(a) To approve the inclusion of a Duty
of 25 per cent. on renamelled wrought hollow-ware for a period of five years in this year's Finance Bill:
(b) That the necessary Resolution
should be moved on Friday next, June 8th.
