HC Deb 26 March 1982 vol 20 c443W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what provisional quotas have been granted to Korea in respect of (a) underwear garments, and (b) dresses; and what were the comparable figures for 1980.

Mr. Sproat

The provisional quota on imports of undergarments—MFA Category 13—from South Korea in 1982 is 1,500,000 pieces. There is a substantive quota on imports of dresses—MFA Category 26—in 1982 of 430,000 pieces. There were no quotas on these products from South Korea in 1980, but actual imports of undergarments from Korea in 1980 amounted to just under 400,000 pieces; and of dresses to just over 200,000 pieces.
