HC Deb 17 February 1971 vol 811 c495W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what steps he is taking to prevent rises in export prices and to ensure the competitiveness of British goods abroad.

Mr. Ridley

As my right hon. Friend has already announced, measures are being taken to sharpen competition and to encourage efficiency within industry. A general effort to curb wage inflation will also help to prevent rises in export prices.
