HC Deb 16 February 1966 vol 724 cc263-4W
120. Mr. Kimball

asked the President of the Board of Trade what representations he has received about the dumping of ducks and poultry in the British market by the Danes at prices below the cost of production; and what action he has taken.

Mr. Darling

Applications have been made under Customs Duties (Dumping and Subsidies) Act by the Duck Producers Association and the National Association of Poultry Packers in association with the National Farmers Unions for action against imports of Danish chickens and ducks. The decision on the former will be announced shortly. The application on ducks was made and accepted in December and, as the applicants know, the investigation of the case is proceeding as quickly as possible.
