§ Mr. Crawfordasked the Secretary of State for Industry what was the value of soft-seated valves manufactured in 1974 in the United Kingdom; and what was the value of the imports of soft-seated valves in 1974.
§ Mr. MeacherSoft-seated valves are not separately distinguished in the statistics. United Kingdom manufacturers' sales of mainly industrial ball and butterfly valves, however, which incorporate soft valve seats, totalled £40 million in 1974. Other valves may include some with soft seats but the values cannot be estimated. No estimate for imports is possible.
