§ Mr. Joplingasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the fact that during the first half of 1969 4,726 tons of Chinese rabbit carcases were imported into the United Kingdom at a cost of over £1,100,000, reflecting a price below the cost of production, he will now take steps to stop these imports which are causing damage to domestic producers of rabbit meat.
§ Mrs. Gwyneth DunwoodyImports of rabbit meat from China in the first half of 1969 were 3,676 tons, value £862,700 c.i.f. If the hon. Member has any reliable information about Chinese costs of production, I shall be glad to have it. I understand that, following discussions with the Board of Trade, representatives of the British producers are considering the possibility of making an application under the anti-dumping legislation.
