§ 99. Sir H. Legge-Bourkeasked the President of the Board of Trade what comparative egg prices in the United Kingdom and Poland, respectively, he takes as the basis of his decision to reject the request made to him to apply antidumping legislation in respect of imported Polish eggs, which are now imposing hardship on British producers.
§ Mr. JayThe question of prices is relevant only to the establishment of the existence of dumping. The decision whether or not to use the powers vested in the Board of Trade depends also on other considerations; in this instance the application was rejected because I was not satisfied that import of eggs, though dumped, were causing or immediately threatening material injury to the British producers.
