§ 87. Mr. Crouchasked the President of the Board of Trade by what criteria it is his policy to decide on the admission of dumped and subsidised exports of foodstuffs.
§ Mr. JayBefore anti-dumping or countervailing duties can be imposed the Board of Trade must be satisfied that dumped or subsidised imports are causing or threatening material injury to an industry in the United Kingdom, and that the imposition of duties would be in the national interest. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food is always consulted and given full opportunity to advise.
