Mr. Giles Shaw

asked the Secretary of State for Trade (1) why, in the light of his undertaking in March to the wool textile industry that the quota for wool suits from Romania would be reduced by 40,000, he authorised a total quota of 370,000 suits to be imported in 1976;

(2) why he has allowed the quota of imported suits from Romania to be increased for 1977; and if he will make a statement;

(3) why, in the light of the Government's policy on support for the United Kingdom clothing industry, he has allowed imports from Romania to increase for 1977.

Mr. Alan Williams
