HC Deb 14 May 1986 vol 97 cc470-1W
27. Mr. Wallace

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what estimate he has made of the cost to United Kingdom exporters of the recent United States of America requirement that certain package consignments to the United States have now to go through a United States customs broker.

Mr. Alan Clark

It is not possible to quantify the likely cost to the United Kingdom textiles industry of the measures recently introduced by United States Customs which revise United States informal entry procedures for textile imports.
