HC Deb 16 November 1981 vol 13 c6W
16. Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will introduce additional measures which will have the effect of safeguarding the interest of the British textile industry.

Mr. Peter Rees

The multi-fibre arrangement, together with the related arrangements for limiting imports of textiles and clothing from other low-cost sources, remains the Government's primary instrument to safeguard the interest of the British textile industry against foreign competition.
