§ Mr. Fauldsasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what is Her Majesty's Government's policy on the draft regulation under consideration by the European Commission which would extend European anti-dumping duties to cover all the components of products subject to anti-dumping duties.
§ Mr. Alan ClarkThe Government sympathise with the objective of ensuring that anti-dumping action is not undermined by imports of components; but, equally, we attach great importance to encouraging genuine inward investment. We are examining the draft regulation from that standpoint.
