HC Deb 19 June 1978 vol 952 cc24-5W
Mr. Tim Renton

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he has discussed with Vicomte Davignon the latter's suggestion that the Multi-Fibre Arrangement should not be extended beyond the present five-year period.

Mr. Dell

Not yet. But I expect that arrangements for stabilising world trade in textiles will continue to be required in some form beyond the lifetime of the present Multi-Fibre Arrangement.
