HC Deb 12 July 1982 vol 27 c254W
27. Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether he will now take steps to assist the hosiery and knitwear industries in the county of Leicestershire.

Mr. MacGregor

A wide range of my Department's assistance is already available to these industries. In addition, the Government has strongly endorsed the Council of Ministers' tough negotiating mandate to the Commission for the negotiation of new bilateral agreements within the multi-fibre arrangement.
