§ Mr. Kilroy-Silkasked the Secretary of State for Trade what quota restrictions are imposed by Japan on the import of goods from Great Britain, and vice versa.
§ Mr. ShoreFor the restrictions under the Multi-Fibre arrangements on Japanese textiles imported into the United Kingdom I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave to his question today. Otherwise neither the United Kingdom nor Japan impose bilateral quota restrictions on the import of goods from each other. The United Kingdom has a trade interest in only very few of the limited number of global quotas still maintained by Japan. They are due to be considered in the course of the Multilateral Trade Negotiations under the GATT. There are in addition a number of voluntary restraint arrangements affecting Japanese imports into the United Kingdom.
