HC Deb 03 December 1980 vol 995 cc94-5W
Mr. Farr

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether the proposed directive on the origin marking for certain textile products will permit goods made in the United Kingdom to be so described.

Mrs. Sally Oppenheim

In the form proposed by the Commission the draft directive would permit this, at the discretion of suppliers, as an alternative or in addition to an indication that such goods were made in the EEC.
