Abolition would be the gravest possible mistake; it would result in large increase in local consumption, loss of revenue, indefinite increase in smuggling. Explains reasons against the bonded warehouse systems. Strongly urges maintenance of present system.

Comment to subsequent Paper.

Before minuting these papers, I think it will be very desirable to print them - doubtless they will eventually have to be laid before Parliament.

The following papers should be included to make the story complete:

5955/83, 7471/83 & public despatch thereon;

6921/83;

771/83 (with last 12515/83);

17206/03 + despatch;

18255/83.
