§ Mr. G. Campbellasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement about the results of discussions with other countries concerning imports of chipboard into the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. CroslandI am satisfied, after examination of available information and discussions with East European countries, that prices of chipboard imported from Eastern Europe are not lower than prices of imports from other sources, after allowing for differences in quality, packaging and terms of delivery. Devaluation of sterling should have improved substantially the position of British chipboard manufacturers in competing with imports.
