HC Deb 17 July 1958 vol 591 c121W
78. Mr. H. Hynd

asked the President of the Board of Trade what percentage of Hong Kong produced cotton yarn is necessary in made-up textiles to qualify them under his regulations, for importation into this country free of duty and quota.

Mr. Vaughan-Morgan

Before duty-free entry is allowed on made-up textiles, they must be consigned from and manufactured in the Commonwealth, and 25 per cent of their ex-factory cost must be derived from prescribed expenditure within any part of th Commonwealth. There are no quotas on Hong Kong goods.
