asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he will publish in the Official Report a table showing for the sensitive items listed in paragraphs 15, 19, 21 and 22 of the White Paper on the Tokyo Round of tariff negotiations (Cmnd. 7724) the current level of tariff and the level proposed for 1 January 1987.
Owing to the number of different products and duty rates involved, a full reply could only be provided at disproportionate cost. The information which follows illustrates the tariff rates for a range of sensitive products mentioned in the paragraphs of the White Paper referred to. If the hon. Member is interested in other particular products, I would be grateful if he would write to me.
