HC Deb 03 July 1959 vol 608 c85W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the President of the Board of Trade (1) if he will keep the import of Polish eggs under observation to ascertain how far dumping is taking place in this country;

(2) what steps his Department takes to ensure that dumping does not take place in Great Britain to the detriment of British industry.

Sir A. Bossom

asked the President of the Board of Trade how far there is dumping of imported eggs going on at the present time.

Sir D. Eccles

Action under the antidumping legislation is initiated only when the industry which considers that it is being injured by dumping or subsidisation makes an application to the Board of Trade. No application has been made in respect of eggs from Poland or any other source.
