§ Mr. Crawfordasked the Secretary of State for Trade (1) if he will list the names of those United Kingdom companies known to his Department which manufacture top-loading cassette tape decks or mechanisms;
(2) if he will list the names of those companies in the EEC known to his Department which manufacture top-loading cassette and tape decks or mechanisms.
Mr. Alan WilliamsI have been asked to reply.
My Department has been told by Thorn Consumer Electronics Limited and North East Audio Limited that they manufacture top-loading cassette decks in the United Kingdom and that Thorn Consumer Electronics Limited also manufactures the mechanisms. I do not know whether there are producers elsewhere in the EEC.
