HC Deb 07 November 1975 vol 899 c354W
Mr. Hoyle

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what instructions have been given to purchasing Departments to give preference to textiles which have been spun, woven, finished and made up in Great Britain.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

My Department has been instructed that where a choice exists between British and imported materials, orders should specify imported materials only where this gives a clear advantage in value for money.
