HC Deb 18 November 1974 vol 881 c295W
38. Mr. Noble

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will examine the problems of the textile industry caused by the volume and price of imports and by suspected subsidised trading practices; and if he will take steps to curtail the effects of these factors.

Mr. Meacher

I maintain a continuous surveillance of the flow of textile imports, and of their effect on United Kingdom industry. I am currently examining a submission from the industry for restraint on cotton yarn imports from Greece and Turkey.
