HC Deb 22 June 1981 vol 7 c27W
13. Mr. Whitlock

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what is his policy towards the use of public sector capital to facilitate a restructuring of the European textile industry.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

There are no current proposals from the European Commission for restructuring the European textile industry with the help of funding from the Community budget. If the Commission makes any such proposals, I shall consider them on their merits.
