HC Deb 18 October 1976 vol 917 cc356-7W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of State for Trade how many applications on dumping have been received by his Department in the past 12 months.

Mr. Meacher

In the 12 months to 30th September 1976 the Department received 39 formal applications for antidumping action under the Customs Duties (Dumping and Subsidies) Act 1969.

Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of State for Trade who is responsible for submitting information on dumping.

Mr. Meacher

Initially it is for an industry seeking anti-dumping action to provide reasonable prima facie evidence of dumping and material injury. The Department recognises, however, that in some cases it is not possible for industries to provide all the evidence to establish a prima facie case from their own resources and in such cases it endeavours to help industries to obtain any missing information. When a case has been announced for full investigation all interested parties have the right to submit any relevant information they may have.
