HC Deb 06 July 1978 vol 953 cc289-90W
Mr. Corbett

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what arrangements exist, and with which countries, concerning the control of imports of PVC inflatables into the United Kingdom.

Mr. Meacher

There are no controls on imports of PVC inflatables.

Mr. Corbett

asked the Secretary of State for Trade how many anti-dumping applications have been made in each of the past three years for which figures are available, and with what result, regarding imported PVC inflatables.

Mr. Meacher

There have been no applications to my Department or, to my knowledge, to the EEC Commission.

Mr. Corbett

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what have been the imports by value and volume in each of the past three years for which figures are available of PVC inflatables into the United Kingdom listed by country of origin.

Mr. Meacher

I regret that figures are not available, as these products are not separately distinguished in the overseas trade statistics.
