HC Deb 22 January 1979 vol 961 c13W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what proposals he has for reducing the unfair competition suffered by the electronics industry from producers from the Far East.

Mr. Meacher

Action against allegedly unfair—that is, dumped or subsidised—imports is now the responsibility of the EEC.

If the electronics industry is able to present evidence of either dumping or subsidisation, then my Department is ready to advise on the preparation of an appropriate application to the Commission for anti-dumping or countervailing action.
