HC Deb 28 June 1968 vol 767 cc142-3W
Mr. Milne

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will publish, from information available to him from international sources, details of the export and import figures between members of the European Free Trade Association in the first quarter of 1968 both in regard to total and percentage; and if he will give similar details for the same period 12 months ago.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

The following is the information:

ments for collection and distribution of the films levy, with supporting arguments, was not published until 24th June, in view of the fact that the debates on the relevant draft regulations took place on 21st June.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

The timing of the two events was fortuitous. There was no avoidable delay in the publication of the Council's report. The date of the debates was determined by considerations of Parliamentary time and the need for approval of the new regulations in good time for their introduction on 14th July.
