HC Deb 06 June 1957 vol 571 cc131-2W
80. Mr. Russell

asked the President of the Board of Trade what were the quantities and value of United Kingdom exports of fishing nets in 1938, 1950 and 1956; and what steps he proposes to take to offset the competition this industry is suffering from Japan.

Mr. Walker-Smith

Fishing nets are not separately distinguished in the export returns. If my hon. Friend can provide me with information of unfair competition by Japanese exporters in overseas markets, I shall be glad to examine it.
