Act allowing the exportation of wool etc.
Our sovereign lady, with advice and consent of the estates of parliament, ratifies and perpetually confirms the several acts of parliament prohibiting the importing of woollen cloth or stuff or any manufacture wherein there is wool, and allows the exporting of sheep wool and woollen yarn, whether of the growth of this or of any other kingdom, and that to the next session of parliament inclusive. And further, continues the exportation of sheep-skins with wool upon them, and allows the exportation thereof at all the ports of the kingdom, the said wool and skins paying duty as formerly. And it is hereby enacted and declared that all woollen manufacture of this nation exported shall be free of any impost whatsoever during the continuance of this act.
