HC Deb 31 July 1980 vol 989 c772W
Mr. Shersby

asked the Secretary of State for Trade (1) what restraint arrangements exist with Japan on the imports of offset litho printing machinery;

(2) what was the value of imports of printing machinery from Japan for each of the past five years for which figures are available; and what was the value of British exports of similar machinery for the same period;

(3) whether imports of offset litho printing machinery from Japan are causing material damage to the British manufacturers; and, if so, what is his policy for dealing with this situation.

Mr. Parkinson

I shall reply to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
