HC Deb 21 July 1980 vol 989 c31W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Sheffield, Brightside (Miss Maynard), Official Report, 3 July, column 681, what was the source of the information that led him to conclude that 151 tonnes of 2,4,5-T were imported into the United Kingdom over the last 12 months.

Mr. Peter Rees

Information about imports of 2,4,5-T over the period June 1979 to May 1980 was provided by the Customs and Excise statistical office and was compiled from data extracted from import entry forms prepared by importers or their agents.
