§ Mr. Cryerasked the Secretary of State for Trade what preliminary discussions he has had with other EEC Ministers regarding the strengthening of the multi-fibre arrangement immediately and the 364W extension of the present arrangement beyond the expiry date.
§ Mr. EyreMy right hon. Friend has had no such discussions. The Government are committed to the support of the present multi-fibre arrangement, and recognise that there will be a need for a continuing orderly marketing arrangement for the trade in textiles after the present arrangement expires.
