HC Deb 18 July 1974 vol 877 c259W
Mr. Lipton

asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether, in view of the closure of factories producing tights in France, Germany and Italy owing to surplus production, he will seek, through the machinery of the EEC for this surplus to be encouraged to be exported to the United Kingdom where there is a shortage.

Mr. Meacher

No. I have no reason to think that British production will be insufficient.
