HC Deb 19 November 1974 vol 881 c409W
Mr. Cyril Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will take steps to limit the import of Turkish yarns to the United Kingdom.

Mr. Deakins

The British Textile Confederation has recently submitted a memorandum to the Department of Industry requesting, inter alia, restraints on imports of cotton yarn from the Mediterranean associates of the EEC, including Turkey. This is being studied as a matter of urgency.
