§ 43. Mr. Tileyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer in view of the increasing competition in the export market and of the uncertainty caused by the Export Rebates Order 1965 as it affects tops, noils and associated wastes, to what extent the export rebate will apply to all tops, noils and wastes of sheep's and lamb's wool or of other animal hair, fine or coarse, if they have been carded or combed in the United Kingdom; and 185W if he will make his decision have retrospective effect to 26th October, 1964.
§ Mr. MacDermotThe rebate applies provided that not less than 20 per cent. of the costs of production or manufacture is attributable to United Kingdom expenditure. I appreciate that this criterion raises certain practical problems in the case of wool tops, noils and wastes, and representations made by the trade are under active consideration.
