HC Deb 24 July 1981 vol 9 c246W
Mr. Dan Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if, in the current negotiations in Geneva, he will ensure that the outstanding interests of the United Kingdom textile industry are protected.

Mr. Parkinson

The Government have already made clear their commitment to do the best they can to ensure that the interests of the United Kingdom textile industry are fully safeguarded during the negotiations for a successor arrangement to the multi-fibre arrangement, taking into account the interests of British industry as a whole.
