HC Deb 31 July 1962 vol 664 c52W
48. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he has taken and intends to take to mitigate the damage caused to Scottish knitwear factories by imports from Hong Kong, and to enable them to maintain their present standards of production.

Mr. Green

As my right hon. Friend told the hon. Member on 26th July, he is aware of the concern of Scottish knitwear firms about imports of knitted garments from Hong Kong.

He notes that these imports, though increasing, are still small.
