HC Deb 12 July 1926 vol 198 c11
19. Lieut.-Colonel A. McDONNELL

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what has been done by various Empire countries since the Imperial Economic Conference in 1923 to secure the uniformity of Customs invoices and certificates throughout the Empire?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

One or other of the forms of invoice and certificate recommended by the Imperial Economic Conference in 1923 is in use in the Commonwealth of Australia, New Zealand, the Union of South Africa and Newfoundland, and generally in such of the Colonies and Protectorates as require certificates in respect of goods imported and where such forms are otherwise applicable.

Mr. A. V. ALEXANDER

Is there any special reason why Canada is not included?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

I should have notice of that question.
