HC Deb 23 May 1980 vol 985 c400W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he is satisfied that the shoe industry is not subjected to unfair competition from outside the United Kingdom.

Mrs. Sally Oppenheim

My right hon. Friend is, of course, well aware that the footwear industry faces keen competition from imports and considers that many of these are unfair. He and his officials are always ready to examine claims by the industry of unfairness and, where these seem to be well founded, to seek appropriate remedies.
