HC Deb 13 December 1967 vol 756 cc156-7W
106. Mr. Chichester-Clark

asked the President of the Board of Trade what estimate he has made of the effect of devaluation upon the shirt industry; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu:

I have not made a precise estimate, but devaluation should help the industry with exports, and strengthen its competitive position in relation to imports.
