HC Deb 26 March 1973 vol 853 c214W
39. Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what proportion of United Kingdom imports from developing countries would become dutiable if Great Britain adopts the existing EEC general scheme of preferences.

Sir G. Howe

Such an assessment would require so many assumptions to be made about trade flows for individual products and commodities that it would not be meaningful.
