HC Deb 06 November 1934 vol 293 c806
27. Mr. NOEL LINDSAY

asked the President of the Board of Trade, whether his attention has been drawn to the !dumping into this country of wooden golf-tees at prices considerably below the cost of manufacture in this country; and what action he intends to take in this matter?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

My attention had not been previously drawn to this question, and I have no official information as to the importation of wooden golf-tees. If the United Kingdom manufacturers consider the existing rate of duty inadequate, it is open to them to make representations to the Import Duties Advisory Committee.

Mr. LINDSAY

Will the right hon Gentleman have an inquiry into it?

Mr. HERBERT WILLIAMS

Can my right hon. Friend tell me what the present rate of duty is?

Mr. LAWSON

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that some Italian footballers are going to be dumped into this country?
