§ 13. Mr. H. WILLIAMSasked the Secretary of State, for the Colonies what action has been taken by the Dominions and Crown Colonies to admit the free entry of British commercial travellers' samples and trade catalogues, as recommended by the Imperial Economic Conference in 1923?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREIn Canada, New Zealand, the Union of South Africa, and Southern Rhodesia provisions substantially in accordance with the recommendations of the Imperial Economic Conference are in force. In the Irish Free 6 State the question does not arise, as no duty is charged on printed matter of any kind. The resolutions of the Conference, relating to the treatment of British commercial travellers' samples and on the subject of trade catalogues and price lists, were communicated to the Governments of the Colonies and Protectorates in June, 1924. I have no reason to think that action has not been taken where needed in the sense of the resolutions.
