HC Deb 14 October 1976 vol 917 c184W
Mr. Padley

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received from the TUC about the introduction of an import deposit scheme.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

My right hon. Friend has discussed with TUC representatives on a number of occasions the levels of imports and ways in which they might be limited. He is not persuaded that an import deposit scheme is the right answer to our present problems.
