HC Deb 26 November 1979 vol 974 c529W
Mr. Foulkes

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will consider seeking commitments by other Governments to import British car components as part of reciprocal trade agreements.

Mr. Parkinson

No. It is not the practice for international trade agreements to specify levels of trade in individual products, and where, as is normally the case, the Government do not themselves act as traders, it would be impracticable for them to do so.
