I move:—
That Dáil Eireann hereby approves of Control of Imports (Quota No. 31) (Amendment) Order, 1937, made on the 25th day of June, 1937, by the Executive Council under the Control of Imports Acts, 1934 and 1937.
I think it would be found more convenient if motion No. 10—that is Quota Order (No. 34)—was taken simultaneously.
I move:—
That Dáil Eireann hereby approves of Control of Imports (Quota No. 34) Order, 1937, made on the 25th day of June, 1937, by the Executive Council under the Control of Imports Acts, 1934 and 1937.
Both these orders relate to the same thing. Quota Order 31 relates to electrical filament lamps and prohibits the importation of electrical filament lamps "with a voltage at not less than 100 volts nor more than 250 volts and consuming not less than 20 watts nor more than 500 watts and fitted with a bayonet cap or a screw." Subsequently the range was extended and, consequently, it was considered necessary to extend protection to lamps that consume not more than 1,500 watts It was found more convenient to divide the quota order into two parts, one relating to the ordinary type of lamp used in houses and offices and the other relating to lamps used in motor cars. Hence, we have here two orders—one amending the original order and the other a new order designed to effect that change. The net effect of the two is to extend the scope of the protection to these other classes of lamps, now being made here, and to provide that, instead of having one quota covering all types, there will be two quotas, one relating to household lamps and the other to motor car lamps.
