HC Deb 19 October 1973 vol 861 c318W
Mr. Moate

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list all foodstuffs on which new import taxes will be levied as from 1st January 1974, stating the appropriate tax levels, as a result of the adoption of the common external tariff.

Mrs. Fenner

A large number of changes in import duties on foodstuffs, both up and down, are due on 1st January 1974. Some of these are not yet settled because of continuing negotiations, but orders will be laid before the House within the next few weeks setting out the new rates.
