HC Deb 25 June 1968 vol 767 cc55-6W
Sir K. Joseph

asked the President of the Board of Trade when he expects to announce the Government's decision on the recommendations of the Monopolies Commission in their report on man-made cellulosic fibres.

Mr. Crosland

As I announced on 5th March, I have already instituted a tariff review following the Commission's report. I expect to have the results of this in two or three months time. Meanwhile, my officials have had discussions with Courtaulds on the recommendations of the Commission other than that relating to tariffs. I cannot yet say when I shall be able to announce a decision.—[Vol. 760, c. 60–1.]
