STOCKS OF TEA
MINISTER DENIES RATIONING OF IMPORTS FULL SUPPLIES ASSURED Kef erring to the import licensing provisions for the July-December period., the Minister of Customs, the Hon. W. Nash, said there appeared to be some misrepresentation regarding tea. He understood that a statement appeared in a North Auckland newspaper to the effect that tea was now a prohibited import, whereas the only restriction announced with the fourth period licenses, was in connection with an odd classification of tea specified as '"tea* n.e.i.'" Mr Nash said there never had | been any reduction in the importation of tea. Indeed, every facility had been given by the Customs Department for the importation of tea to the full quantity admitted prior to the import selection procedure. Stocks of tea In New Zealand w're ample for consumers' requirements and further adequate.supplies' were also fully assured.
