HC Deb 15 April 1983 vol 40 c471W
Mr. J. Enoch Powell

asked the Minister for Trade if he will take steps to correct the effect of the import duty on fully or partly assembled microcomputer systems being 6 per cent. as against 17 per cent. on the components.

Mr. Peter Rees

The Government are aware of the concern in the United Kingdom equipment industry at the effects of this tariff differential and we are actively considering with the various industrial interests concerned how best to take matters forward.
