HC Deb 10 November 1971 vol 825 c187W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether, in considering the application for anti-dumping measures to be imposed upon fertilizer imports, he will take into account the desirability of promoting trade amongst Western European countries and of preventing the development of monopoly conditions in the United Kingdom fertilizer industry.

Mr. Anthony Grant

We cannot legally impose anti-dumping duties unless it appears to us that, having regard to all the circumstances, it would be in the national interest to do so. We shall, therefore, do our best to take all relevant considerations into account.
