HC Deb 06 December 1957 vol 579 c88W
Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenport

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware of the present difficulties of obtaining adequate information from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to enable a decision to be reached as to whether or not the provisions of the Anti-Dumping Act are being infringed in any particular instance; and whether he will make arrangements to inform the Soviet authorities that the continued importations into this country of Russian manufactured goods cannot be allowed to continue indefinitely unless such information is made available.

Sir D. Eccles

The Board of Trade's powers to act under this legislation do not depend solely on the supply of information by foreign countries, and the second part of the Question does not therefore arise.
