In American Colonial history, the Iron Act, strictly Importation, etc. Act 1750 (Statute 23 Geo. II c. 29) was one of the legislative measures introduced by the British Parliament, seeking to restrict manufacturing activities in British colonies, particularly in North America, and encourage manufacture to take place in Great Britain. ==The provisions of the Act== The Act contained several provisions, applying from 24 June 1750: * Duty on the import of pig iron from America should cease. * Duty on bar iron imported to London should cease. * Such bar iron might be carried coastwise or by land from there to Royal Navy dockyards, but otherwise not beyond 10 miles from London. * The iron must be marked with its place of origin (most, if not all, pig iron was already marked). * No mill or engine for slitting or rolling iron or any plating forge to work with a tilt hammer or any furnace for making steel should be erected in America. * Colonial governors were required to certify what mills of these types already existed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iron Act」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
