With my Saving Despatch No. 673 dated
the 29 November, I sent you copies of the
Customs (Import Deposits) Bill; this has
now been enacted and I enclose copies of
the Act itself.
2. In spite of full debate in the House,
few amendments have been made to the Bill
and most of these to Schedule 2, "RELIEFS",
in which there have been changes to Paragraphs
3,4 and 5 relating to the remitting and
reduction of import deposits payable on
imported goods for re-export and re-imported.
The new provisions are of wide application
and will leave room for Customs officials to
give more reliee than would have been
possible under Schedule 2 as originally drafted
with the Bill.
3. When the mechanics of the scheme have been
in operation for some time, it should be
possible to see how these measures are
affecting your trade, and I should be
interested to hear from you when you are in
a position to assess this.
