HC Deb 16 July 1980 vol 988 cc546-7W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he will circulate in the Official Report a table showing for France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg and for the rest of the world the ratio of imports to exports of manufactured good for 1963, for each year from 1970 and 1980 to date.

Mr. Parkinson

Figures for the rest of the world are not readily available. The available information for the other countries is as follows:

Member for Cannock (Mr. Roberts) on 16 June; and what facilities he is providing to manufacturers who wish to make representations to Taiwan to end these practices.

Mr. Parkinson

I am not aware that any such approaches have been made since 16 June either directly to those concerned in Taiwan or through the Anglo-Taiwan trade committee which, I understand, is willing to help in such cases.
