Phthalic Anhydride and Pentaerythritol

HC Deb 07 March 1963 vol 673 c77W

43. Mr. Lubbock

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will reduce the duty on imports of Phthalic anhydride and pentaerythritol.

Mr. Green

My right hon. Friend is always prepared to consider applications from representative domestic interests for changes in the import duty on particular goods.

Mr. Lubbock

asked the President of the Board of Trade what quantity of Phthalic anhydride has been imported into Great Britain from. France since 31st July, 1962.

Mr. Green

Phthalic anhydride is not separately distinguished in the trade returns, and it would not be proper for me to give the information for which the hon. Member asks as it would reveal the business of an individual trader.
