HC Deb 17 February 1955 vol 537 c80W
92. Mr. Rankin

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many 12 inch and how many 17 inch television tubes were imported into the United Kingdom in 1954; and what was their average price, respectively, to the importer.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

The trade statistics do not show 12 inch or 17 inch television tubes separately. 412,000 complete cathode ray tubes of all sizes for television and other purposes were imported in 1954 at an average value of £4. To this, Key Industry Duty of 33⅓ per cent, must be added.
