§ Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Secretary of State for Trade what is the policy of Her Majesty's Government regarding import of pig iron; and if he will take action to reduce the level of imports from subsidised producers and of imports in excess of bilateral agreements.
§ Mr. ParkinsonPig iron is covered by the Community's anti-crisis measures for iron and steel products. These comprise, among other things, a basic import price scheme which is designed to facilitate 739W anti-dumping action against unfairly priced imports of the products and the negotiation by the Commission of voluntary restraint arrangements with supplying countries. It is our policy to ensure that these measures are continued into 1980 in a fully effective form.
§ Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Secretary of State for Trade what was the total landed value of pig iron imports in each of the years from 1973; and what are the projections for 1979.
§ Mr. ParkinsonI will reply to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
