HC Deb 18 April 1973 vol 855 cc144-5W
Mr. Sheldon

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what representations he has received for the imposition of import quotas on Japanese electronic products.

Mr. Anthony Grant

The Department has received a number of representations in the last year or so for action to be taken to reduce the growth of imports of Japanese electronic products—particularly in the consumer goods field—either by the introduction of import quotas or by other means. These representations have been taken into account, together with other relevant factors, in the formulation of the Government's policy towards trade relations with Japan. A careful watch is being kept on the developing situation.
