HC Deb 17 January 1972 vol 829 cc26-7W
Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he has yet received a definitive reply to his representations to the United States Government regarding the proposed discriminatory tax credit to United States manufacturers for purchase of equipment of United States manufacture; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Anthony Grant

No definitive reply was received but the discriminatory feature of the job development tax credit was removed when the U.S. import surcharge was withdrawn on 20th December, 1971.
