HC Deb 03 June 1965 vol 713 c247W
42. Mr. Shepherd

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make representations to the Canadian Government with a view to preventing the damage now being caused to the United Kingdom cotton textile industry by the export from Canada into the United Kingdom of Canadian goods and of goods other than of Canadian origin at dumped prices.

Mr. Jay

My Department have asked the Cotton Board to provide any information the British industry may have to support allegations that Canadian traders are acting as the hon. Member suggests. It is, of course, open to any industry that has evidence that imports are being dumped and are causing or threatening them with material injury to apply for action to be taken under the Customs and Duties (Dumping and Subsidies) Act, 1957.
