HC Deb 26 June 1968 vol 767 cc89-90W
Mr. Nott

asked the President of the Board of Trade, why he will not take legislative power to vary the date of the tariffs on imported early potatoes in relation to the availability of supplies from home producers.

Mr. Dell

The tariff on early potatoes imported from countries outside the Commonwealth Preference Area is already set at different rates for different periods, and legislative power exists, subject to the requirements of the Import Duties Act, 1958, for these rates or periods to be varied.
