HC Deb 05 November 1979 vol 973 c90W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will seek to introduce legislation which gives him power to regulate the sale of powdered baby milk to developing countries on clearly defined conditions.

Mr. Parkinson

No. It would be inappropriate to interfere with the overriding right of independent foreign Governments to decide for themselves what products should or should not be imported in the light of local conditions.
