§ Mr. Harold Walkerasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what estimate he has made of the numbers of new jobs that will become available in the United Kingdom coal mining industry in the event of the United Kingdom joining the European Coal and Steel Community.
§ Mr. Ridley: This will depend on the general expansion we expect in economic activity as a result of membership of the enlarged Community and also on the success the National Coal Board achieve in expanding their exports to Community countries, for which there are great opportunities.
§ Mr. Deakinsasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he can now state to what extent India's exports of mohair and jute to the United Kingdom will be affected in the event of United Kingdom membership of the European Economic Community.
§ Mr. Noble: The C.E.T. on raw mohair and raw jute is zero and I would not expect our small imports of these from India to be affected by entry into the Community.
