HC Deb 16 November 1981 vol 13 c7W
22. Mr. Eggar

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he intends to take any action in the multi-fibre arrangement discussions in the light of the Cancun summit.

Mr. Peter Rees

We shall continue to take very careful account of the needs of the developing countries, and particularly those of the poorest countries, in deciding our overall policies towards textile imports. The Community has already decided that the arrangements to be negotiated under the new MFA should, where possible, differentiate in favour of the poorest countries.
