WITH reference to the notice gazetted on the 2nd October, 1924, with respect to the proposed alteration of the conditions under which goods are to be admitted to entry under the British Preferential Tariff, it is hereby notified for public information that the Minister of Customs has under consideration the question of issuing a list of partly manufactured raw materials which are to be placed on the same footing as unmanufactured raw materials under paragraph (c) of clause 6 of the Customs Regulations gazetted on the 7th December, 1922.

This would mean that any goods made wholly in Great Britain or other British possessions from any partly manufactured raw materials which may be included in such a list would be admitted under the British Preferential Tariff even though 75 per cent. of the factory or works cost might not be represented by British material and/or labour.

The Minister of Customs is prepared to consider any representations which may be made as to the articles which should be placed on such a list.
