§ Mr. Spearingasked the Secretary of State for Trade what estimates he has concerning the change in percentage of dutiable imports from beneficiary countries entering the United Kingdom free of charge under the United Kingdom scheme of generalised preferences and that now adopted under the EEC scheme.
§ Mr. DeakinsThe present EEC scheme is probably, on balance, of less value to beneficiary countries than was the United Kingdom scheme. It is not, however, possible to make a comparison in quantitative terms.
