§ Mr. Dalyellasked the President of the Board of Trade what discussion he has had with the Norwegian Government about the increased duty on imported cars and commercial vehicles.
§ Mrs. Gwyneth DunwoodyNone. The increases which the Norwegian Government announced on 4th December are in respect of their internal taxes on cars, and, as my hon. Friend will be aware, under the Stockholm Convention Mem-392W ber countries of E.F.T.A. are free to determine their own level of internal taxation. The increases, though effective from 5th December, have still to be ratified by the Norwegian Parliament. I understand that commercial vehicles are not affected by these changes.
