HC Deb 22 May 1980 vol 985 c277W
Dr. Summerskill

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether, in view of his undertaking to monitor the extent of importation of tufted carpets and its effect on the United Kingdom industry, he will arrange for the findings to be published at regular intervals.

Mr. Tebbit

Figures for imports are published monthly in the Overseas Trade Statistics. As regards the effect on the United Kingdom industry, we are maintaining close contact with the British Carpet Manufacturers Association.
