THE drive by big booksellers to open up Australia’s market to cheaper foreign imports is facing an uphill battle inside the Federal Government after a senior minister yesterday dismissed the claimed benefits of reform.

In what could be a blow to the push by Dymocks, Coles and Woolworths, the Industry Minister, Kim Carr, said there was little evidence the price of books would fall if import restrictions were removed.

Speaking to the printing industry yesterday, Senator Carr listed a number of reasons why the Government would not want to adopt the position of the Productivity Commission, which has suggested making it easier for booksellers to import books.
