HC Deb 04 February 1980 vol 978 c45W
29. Mr. Leighton

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will make a statement on the exercise of his powers against dumping.

Mr. Parkinson

Since July 1977 the European Commission has been responsible for taking action against dumped or subsidised imports into the Community. However, my Department has retained its anti-dumping unit to advise and help United Kingdom industry in preparing cases for submission to the Commission. I have recently issued guidance notes giving advice to industry on procedures.
