HC Deb 27 November 1978 vol 959 c17W
37. Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what study he has made of the need for selective import controls to help certain industries for a limited period.

Mr. John Smith:

In conjunction with the Department of Industry, my Department examines carefully proposals for selective controls submitted in respect of individual industries. A considerable range of selective measures has already been introduced.
