HC Deb 16 May 1975 vol 892 cc212-3W
Mr. Moonman

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will make a statement on his recent consultations on the effect on British publishing of American action, evidence of which has been supplied to him by the hon. Member for Basildon.

Mr. Deakins

We have expressed to the United States Government our serious concern about the possible effect of this United States anti-trust case on the British book trade and British rights. We are continuing to follow the matter closely.
