from that exemption in 19182" Mr. Howard, Finance Minister, said the answer to the first part of the ques tion is in the negative, but assess ment of the tax has been postponed pending the decision of the Calcutta

High Court on the test case. To

answer the second part of the ques tion is not possible without a detailed èxamination of the books of all the

companies concerned and, in view

of the labour which this would entail, the Government do not feel justified in asking the companies to supply the information.

Mr. Howard, replying to Si Din- shaw Wacha, said it is the case that the minting of gold coins at the Bombay branch of the Royal Mint has been suspended. This was done on a suggestion from His Majesty's Treasury as their Deputy Master, who was in charge of the Bombay Mint, had to be invalided in April last. In point of fact it was a substantial convenience for the Government of India to be able to utilise the plant of the Gold Mirit in order to supplement that of their own Silver Mint, the resources of which were severely taxed in order to cope with great demand for rupee coinage, while at the same time. experience had shown that owing to the large internal premium on gold the mint COST PER PONY Hongkong was in present circumstances of little ing of gold coins for use as currency. $800.-c.1.1
