HC Deb 18 October 1966 vol 734 c34W
Mr. John Wells

asked the President of the Board of Trade what representations he has received from British organisations about dumping of maize starch, potato starch and kindred products in the current year; and what action he has taken.

Mr. Jay

Applications made by the British Maize Starch and Glucose Manufacturers' Association under the Customs Duties (Dumping and Subsidies Act, 1957) have been under consideration and I have received several letters about them. The Board of Trade announced on 16th September that it had decided not to take action but to keep the position under review, and that the Governments concerned had been informed accordingly.
