§ 20. Mr. Archie Hamiltonasked the Secretary of State for Trade what reduction in the number of staff employed in his Department's anti-dumping services has been made since primary responsibility for this sector was transferred to the European Commission on 1 July 1977.
§ Mr. ParkinsonThe Department's anti-dumping unit, from assistant-secretary to clerical staff, consists of 25 staff, compared with 27 in July 1977. Because of the interrelationship between anti-dumping and other measures on steel, the unit also handles the external trade aspects of the Community's steel anti-crisis measures.
