§ Mr. Austin Mitchellasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, further to the written reply dated 23 March, Official Report, c. 328, concerning duties levied on imports of manufactures from non-EEC countries, whether he will publish in the Official Report his best estimate for the further reduction in the average rate of duty for each section which can be expected as a result of the Tokyo round assuming that the pattern of trade remains the same and the reductions are fully implemented.
§ Mr. Bruce-GardyneAt the Tokyo round of the GATT there was agreement to tariff changes for a multiplicity of goods. To calculate the effect on the average rate of duty on United Kingdom imports for each section of the Standards International Trade Classification would cost disproportionate time and effort.
