§ Mr. G. Campbellasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will now take action to prevent dumping in this country of wood chipboard, in view of increasing imports and the official encouragement which has been given to the establishment of factories in the 24W United Kingdom for its manufacture, especially in development areas.
§ Mr. JayDemand has been expanding and British production has risen steadily in recent years. Imports have also been increasing, but I have no reason to believe that any significant proportion is dumped or subsidised. The industry know that if they have evidence that dumped imports are causing or threatening them with material injury, they can apply for anti-dumping action under the Customs Duties (Dumping and Subsidies) Act.
