HC Deb 17 November 1977 vol 939 c312W
Mr. Silvester

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what evidence he has for the dumping of sheeting and manufactured bed sheets from the United States of America; and what action he proposes.

Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he will examine the allegation of dumping of cloth and finished textile goods by the United States of America with a view to preventing such practices and protecting the British textile industry.

Mr. Meacher

I am aware only of one unsubstantiated claim. If the industry produces suitable evidence of dumping and material injury, my Department will be prepared to advise on the submission of a formal complaint to the European Commission.
