HC Deb 10 March 1978 vol 945 cc827-8W
Mr. Litterick

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what progress he has made in his discussions with the CBI, the TUC and other bodies to fulfil the undertaking given by the Prime Minister on 23rd May 1977, pursuant to Questions about dealings between the former man- agement of British Leyland and their overseas customers, that the Government would endeavour to define a code of practice for all British companies operating abroad.

Mr. Dell

Since we consider that obligations in this matter should not fall on British companies alone, the Government are actively pursuing the possibilities for practical international co-operation. The discussions which we have had have been directed primarily towards this objective.
