HC Deb 23 November 1967 vol 754 cc413-4W
Mr. Tom Boardman

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether import duties will be payable on the increased cost, resulting from devaluation, of goods and machinery previously ordered from abroad, bearing in mind that this would have the effect of compounding the extra burden.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

To the extent that the import prices of such goods and machinery increase as a result of devaluation,ad valorem duties will be chargeable on the increased prices.
