HC Deb 13 March 1985 vol 75 c151W
Mr. Freeman

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what representations he has made to the Government of the United States of America concerning attempts to restrain legal exports of goods from the United Kingdom.

Mr. Fletcher

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State and my right hon. Friend the Minister for Trade have emphasised their continuing rejection of the extraterritorial application of US export controls in a number of contacts with senior members of the US Administration in the last year. The Minister of State for Industry and Information Technology reiterated the Government's views during his visit to Washington in January.
