HC Deb 21 January 1972 vol 829 c299W
Mr. Redmond

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he is now in a position to make a statement with regard to future permanent arrangements concerning quotas imposed on textile imports into the United Kingdom.

Mr. Ridley

We expect discussions with the E.E.C. and with our trade partners generally about world trade arrangements in textiles in anticipation of the review of the G.A.T.T. Long Term Arrangement on Cotton Textiles due to be held before September, 1973.
