§ Mr. Onslowasked the President of the Board of Trade what is his policy with regard to unrestricted import into the United Kingdom in respect of hydrofoil 685W craft of Soviet Russian manufacture, in view of the fact that these vessels are to be offered for sale at a price very much below their cost of production, to the detriment of British manufacturers of similar or competitive vessels, such as hovercraft.
§ Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody:An import licence is required for the import of boats, whether hydrofoil craft or other types, from the U.S.S.R. Applications for import licences are considered on their merits. I do not think that recent reports about prices and costs are necessarily accurate.
