HC Deb 13 July 1982 vol 27 c309W
Mr. Iain Mills

asked the Minister for Trade if, in future trading talks with Japan, he will raise the policy of that country in connection with trade sanctions with the Argentine.

Mr. Peter Rees

In the context of the invasion of the Falkland Islands the Japanese Government took certain measures affecting trade between Argentina and Japan. These were detailed in the answer given by my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs on 30 April. In discussing trade with the Japanese Government, we and the Community are continuing using all appropriate arguments to press Japan to modify her economic policies and trading practices in order to increase her low level of manufactured imports and to moderate her exports in sensitive sectors.
