HC Deb 28 May 1976 vol 912 cc470-1W
Mr. Jim Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will list in the Official Report for tariff headings 60.04 and 60.05 the quotas to be imposed on

Tariff Heading Description Units of Quantity 1975 1976 1977
60.04 Knitted Shirts 000's 2,378 2,484 2,575
Knitted undergarments other than shirts, drawers, briefs, tights and panti-hose tonnes 134 190 240
60.05 Jerseys, pullovers, slip-overs, twin-sets, cardigans, bed jackets and jumpers 000's 15,653 15,731 15,810
Other knitted outer garments tonnes 348 366 390

Because imports in 1975 were in excess of the quotas introduced restrospectively, the quotas for 1975 and 1976 were combined so that goods already paid for could be licensed. There are no revised quotas as such for 1976, but any balances available have been allocated to importers on the basis of past trade. The total of the combined quotas for 1975 and 1976 will not, of course, be exceeded.
