HL Deb 15 July 1981 vol 422 cc1364-5WA
The Earl of Kimberley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What discount facilities are recommended for use in the United Kingdom public sector, when comparing prices on equipment available from both domestic and foreign sources.

The Minister of State, Treasury (Lord Cockfield)

No system of price discrimination against foreign goods is recommended. Such an approach would be inconsistent with our international obligations.
