§ 5. Mr. H. WILLIAMSasked the Ender-Secretary of State for India what action has been taken by the Government of India to admit the free entry of British commercial travellers' samples and trade catalogues?
§ Earl WINTERTONDuty on samples brought by commercial travellers from the United Kingdom may under certain conditions be deposited or guaranteed by bond, and refunded on re-exportation within a prescribed period. The Geneva Convention on the simplification of Customs formalities, which has been ratified by India, provides for similar facilities as between the contracting States. Trade catalogues imported by packet, book or parcel post are admitted free of duty?
§ Mr. WILLIAMSHave any changes been made since the Imperial Economic Conference of 1923 made its recommendations on the subject?
§ Earl WINTERTONThe Regulations were very voluminous. I will send my hon. Friend a copy. They are too voluminous to quote in a reply.
