HC Deb 18 December 1968 vol 775 c403W
Mr. Mikardo

asked the President of the Board of Trade what consideration he has given to taking action against the dumping of Californian table grapes.

Mr. Dell:

Action under the Customs Duties (Dumping and Subsidies) Acts, 1957 and 1968, is normally taken by the Board of Trade upon receipt from the British industry affected of an application, with supporting prima facie evidence, that the imports complained of are dumped and that the alleged dumping is causing or threatening material injury. No application has been received from British producers of grapes.
