Tariff and Development Board Notice No. 289—Inquiries Concerning Protection for Various Goods—Public Hearings

1. The Minister of Customs has referred to the Tariff and Development Board for inquiry and report the question of the nature and extent of the protection, if any, which it considers appropriate for New Zealand industry in respect of the importation of the goods listed in the attached Schedules. This reference arises from the publication, in a Supplement to the New Zealand Gazette, dated 7 October 1971, of a Notice of Proposed Exemptions from Import Licensing and from representations received in response to that notice.

2. For the purpose of taking evidence the Board will hold public hearings commencing at 10.30 a.m. on the dates shown below in the Hearing Room, Eighth Floor, Cumberland House, Upper Willis Street, Wellington.
