HC Deb 15 November 1976 vol 919 c390W
31. Mr. John H. Osborn

asked the Secretary of State for Trade, following the imposition of severe quota restrictions on the import of steel by the USA from the United Kingdom, what initiative he has taken on his own or in cooperation with a delegation from the EEC to liberalise trade, bearing in mind the need to increase British exports to hard currency areas.

Mr. Meacher

Her Majesty's Government and the Community take every opportunity to seek the withdrawal by the United States Administration of the United States quotas on special steels. Our rights under Article XIX of the GATT have been fully reserved.
