asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that Alka-Seltzer Brand, effervescent analgesic alkalizing tablets, are being imported from the U.S.A.; why it is considered necessary to import it; and what is this country's dollar expenditure on this product.

Yes. Imports of this product, which is now being manufactured in a development area, did not cost us dollars, and were made to test the market.
