HC Deb 20 December 1966 vol 738 c250W
69. Mr. Ford

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in view of the export record of the wool textile industry, why he has increased export rebate on cotton and man-made fibre fabrics and not on wool products.

Mr. Diamond

Because the rates of export rebate depend not on export performance but on the extent to which certain indirect taxes enter into the costs of the industries concerned.
