HC Deb 29 July 1965 vol 717 c155W
43. Mr. Clive Bossom

asked the President of the Board of Trade, in view of the high quality of British paints for marking roads, why he has permitted the import of American paint for this purpose.

Mr. Jay

Paint from the United States is imported under the open general import licence: no specific permission is required.

44. Mr. Clive Bossom

asked the President of the Board of Trade what quantity of paint for marking roads was imported from the United States of America in 1964.

Mr. Jay

I regret that these imports are not separately distinguished in the trade statistics.
