HC Deb 17 April 1934 vol 288 c936

Resolved, That as from the eighteenth day of April, nineteen hundred and thirty-four, any duty of customs chargeable on patent leather not forming part of another article and on goods composed wholly of patent leather shall, instead of being charged under Part I of the Import Duties Act, 1932, be charged under Section one of the Ottawa Agreements Act, 1932, and shall be a duty equal to fifteen per cent. of the value of the goods: Provided that—

  1. (a) this Resolution shall not apply to any goods which fall within some class or description of goods on which an additional duty is for the time being charge-able under Section three of the Import Duties Act, 1932, if the aggregate amount of that additional duty and of the general ad valorem duty exceeds fifteen per cent. of the value of the goods;
  2. (b) Sub-section (2) of Section one of the Ottawa Agreements Act, 1932, shall not apply in relation to any duty chargeable by virtue of this Resolution.
And it is hereby declared that it is expedient in the public interest that this Resolution shall have statutory effect under the provisions of the Provisional Collection of Taxes Act, 1913.
