HC Deb 18 July 1963 vol 681 c77W
37. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that Scandinavian paper exporters are offering their products to the paper trade in the United Kingdom below their own official export list prices; whether this was discussed at the recent European Free Trade Association meeting in Lisbon; and what action he will taken to protect those employed in the United Kingdom paper industry.

Mr. Erroll

As to the first two parts of the Question, this is a matter of commercial practice in which Government intervention would be neither practicable nor proper. As to the last part of the Question. I would refer to the reply given on 25th June to my hon. Friend the Member for Dorset, West (Mr. Wingfield Digby).
