HC Deb 19 March 1971 vol 813 c415W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the effect of the import levies on food, announced by the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food on 17th March, on the balance of payments for 1971–72 and for 1972–73.

Mr. Higgins

The levy schemes are likely to have very little effect overall on the balance of payments.
