HC Deb 02 May 1980 vol 983 c684W
Mr. Alexander

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if the French and Italian Governments subsidise their exports, specifically vehicles and caravans; and by how much.

Mr. Eyre

I have been asked to reply.

I am not aware of the existence of any export subsidies covering vehicles and caravans, which, if they affected trade between member States of the Community, would be contrary to article 92 of the Treaty of Rome. If my hon. Friend has evidence of the existence of such subsidies, I should be grateful if he would refer his information to my Department.
