HC Deb 21 July 1982 vol 28 c155W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Minister for Trade whether Her Majesty's Government will make representations to the United States of America about the United States Customs proposal for the reclassification of certain types of knitwear and clothing as "ornamental" in view of the fact that this would make them liable to a higher tariff on entry to the United States of America.

Mr. Peter Rees

Strong representations about the United States Customs proposal have already been made to the United States Administration both by the European Commission, and by the Government.
