HC Deb 26 October 1979 vol 972 c354W
Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what proposals he intends to place before Parliament to ensure the retention of a modern and viable woollen textile industry.

Mr. David Mitchell

It is the Government's intention to continue progressively to create conditions within which industry can generally operate profitably. The wool textile industry has been extensively modernised in recent years and with the assistance of the multi-fibre arrangement there should continue to be a modern and viable industry.
