HC Deb 23 March 1978 vol 946 c737W
17. Mr. Bryan Gould

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his policy for stimulating export-led growth.

Mr. Joel Barnett

The Government seek to stimulate exports by a number of different means; by providing direct help to exporters; through policies aimed at maintaining competitiveness, particularly by a moderation in the rate of increase in our wage casts; and by promoting concerted international action to stimulate the growth of activity worldwide.
