HC Deb 05 February 1969 vol 777 cc102-3W
71. Mr. Bessell

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he takes to ensure that imports of powdered milk from France and other countries are not marketed in Great Britain at prices less than the cost to the producer in the country of origin.

Mr. Dell

The Board of Trade will take action under the Customs Duties (Dumping and Subsidies) Acts, 1957 and 1968, if it is satisfied that dumping or subsidisation of imports is causing or threatening material injury to the British producers concerned and that such action would be in the national interest. If the British producers affected apply for action with supporting prima facie evidence, the Board will consider the case.
