Mr BEDDALL (Minister for Small Business, Construction and Customs) (3.57 p.m.) —I move:

  Customs Tariff Proposal No. 9 (1992).

The tariff proposal which I now table contains an alteration to the Customs Tariff Act 1987. This proposal, which is operative on and from 1 July 1991, corrects an anomaly caused at the time the UNESCO agreement on the importation of educational, scientific and cultural materials was implemented in the Customs Tariff Act 1987. It provides a free rate of duty for instructional books for games in subheading 9504.90.

  A summary of alterations contained in this proposal has been prepared and is being circulated for the information of honourable members. I commend the proposal to the House.

  Debate (on motion by Mr Rocher) adjourned.
