HC Deb 16 March 1981 vol 1 c6W
38. Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what steps he is taking to protect the British electrical appliance manufacturing industry from severe and unfair competition.

Mr. Parkinson

Officials in my Department's antidumping unit are helping the domestic electrical appliance industry through its trade association to bring a number of anti-dumping complaints before the European Commission. We shall press for a speedy investigation of each case as soon as the industry, with our help, has been able to assemble the necessary prima facie evidence.
