HC Deb 10 November 1960 vol 629 cc1203-4
20. Mr. Willey

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will state his decision on the application for the removal of duty on refined borax.

Mr. Maudling

The decision is that anhydrous borax should be exempt from import duty. The Order giving effect to it was laid before the House on 1st November and came into effect the following day.

Mr. Willey

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that this is very much welcomed by the glass industry and by the enterprising glass works in my constituency? This will help considerably.

Mr. Maudling

Good.
