HC Deb 17 July 1972 vol 841 c10W
47. Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will make a statement on the outcome of his further representations to the Japanese Government on the implementation of their proposed seven-point programme.

Mr. John Davies

Japanese Ministers are aware that although I welcome their seven-point programme, for which they still have to secure legislative backing, its impact in my view can only be felt in the medium term. I hope that the new Government under Mr. Tanaka will be able to make an early response to my requests for more immediate measures to help our manufacturers and exporters.
