§ Mr. Teddy Taylorasked the Prime Minister, in the light of the speech by the Foreign Secretary in Japan about the effect on employment of trade in manufactures with Japan, what factors enable such estimates to be made in respect of trade with Japan but not in respect of trade in manufactures with the European Economic Community; and if she will make a statement.
§ The Prime MinisterMy right hon. and noble Friend drew attention to the unemployment caused by the concentration of Japanese exports in a few sensitive industrial sectors and the need for Japan to import more from Europe. I am happy to say that the pattern of our visible trade with the rest of the Community affords no parallel.
