HC Deb 26 April 1971 vol 816 cc30-1W
Mr. McMaster

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will now make a further statement on the proposals for the recording of exports.

Mr. Noble

An Amendment to the Finance Bill will be tabled to permit the introduction of new arrangements to ensure the full recording of exports. These arrangements will be based on proposals put forward on behalf of the business community by the S.I.T.P.R.O. Board whom I should like to thank for their constructive action. An outline of the new arrangements, which should make unnecessary the institution of a full pre-entry system, is available in the Library and will subsequently be published in "Trade and Industry" on 5th May.
