§ Mr. M. Lindsayasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will continue the suspension of the steel import duty after 18th March, 1956.
§ Mr. P. ThorneycroftThe import duty on most iron and steel products was suspended until 18th March, 1956, by an Order made on 13th July, 1955. I have recently received the views of the Iron and Steel Board on the question of further suspension of duty on these products and am now considering the matter in the light of those views. I will arrange for the Government's decision to be made known as soon as possible.
