HC Deb 29 May 1968 vol 765 c213W
39 and 40. Mr. Moyle

asked the President of the Board of Trade (1) what is his estimate of the annual value of British machine tools excluded from sale to the United States of America by virtue of the existing United States tariff on such goods;

(2) what is his estimate of the annual value of British office machinery excluded from sale in the United States of America by virtue of the existing United States tariff on such goods.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

No reliable estimate can be made. However, the tariff, which is not particularly high, is by no means the only factor affecting increased sales of these goods in the United States of America.
