§ Mr. Austin Mitchellasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the fact that it is the policy of the EEC to restrict imports whenever these pose a threat to jobs, and the adverse effect such imports are having on employment in the United Kingdom, she will now ask other EEC countries to limit their exports to the United Kingdom.
§ The Prime MinisterNo. Our trade with our Community partners is, taken as a whole, of great mutual benefit. Limitations in either direction would be wholly inconsistent with our obligations under the treaties.
