HC Deb 30 June 1967 vol 749 cc150-1W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the President of the Board of Trade what action he is taking to introduce a system of regulating imports to help the British paper trade; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Jay

None. I am aware of the difficulties which the paper and board industry is at present experiencing but their solution must be found primarily in the industry's adaptation to changes in its trading conditions. The Government recognises this industry's important contribution to the national economy and welcomes the progress which it is making to rationalise its structure and increase its productivity.
