§ Mr. DeakinsStatistics relating to television components generally are not separately recorded, and no information is therefore available about the level of penetration of imports from Japan. However, in the particular case of television tubes, statistics for 1974 show that imports from Japan of monochrome tubes comprised 9.4 per cent. of the home market—United Kingdom production less exports plus imports—while imports from Japan of colour tubes comprised 35.3 per cent. of the home market. Both figures are by quantity.
On the question of dumping, my Department hopes to make an announcement in due course about the outcome of the recent application for anti-dumping action against imports from Japan of colour television tubes. No evidence has been received of dumping of other television components.
Mr. Mark Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Trade what are the levels of imports from and exports to the EEC of television and electronic equipment this year as compared with last.
