HC Deb 26 January 1976 vol 904 cc65-6W
Mr. Hoyle

asked the Secretary of State for Trade (1) what was the figure for imported hand-held calculators and desk calculators in 1974 and 1975, respectively;

made about various factors including the conditions which the U.S. authorities might impose on Skytrain and the competitive services which a U.S. carrier or carriers would operate. On the basis of realistic assumptions I expect that the net effect would be minimal or even negative. It would require considerably greater benefits to the balance of payments to override the policy considerations on which the decision on Skytrain was taken.
