(2) That where a percentage is stated in the third column of the Schedule to this Resolution opposite the mention of any article in the second column of that Schedule, such statement shall be construed as meaning a rate of duty equal to that percentage of the value of such article.
(3) That the provisions (if any) set forth in the fourth column of the Schedule to this Resolution at any reference number in that Schedule shall have effect in respect of the duty mentioned at that reference number.
(4) 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, 1927 (No. 7 of 1927).
SCHEDULE.
This is an omnibus Resolution imposing a number of miscellaneous industrial duties. I think in regard to these duties it will be found that the commodities are comparatively unimportant and that the alterations which are being made are trivial in themselves, though we expect to get about £40,000 or so from them. They are not imposed as revenue duties but as protective measures.
