HC Deb 15 October 1969 vol 788 c94W
Mr. Hunt

asked the President of the Board of Trade what consultations took place with the Commonwealth countries concerned prior to his announcement of the decision to impose a tariff of 15 per cent. on the import of cotton textiles.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

It is not intended to introduce a tariff on imports from the Commonwealth Preference Area until 1st January, 1972. This gives ample time for all necessary consultations.
