HC Deb 14 March 1983 vol 39 c69W
Mr. Clinton Davis

asked the Minister for Trade what is his policy towards the proposals submitted to him by the Merchant Navy and Airline Officers' Association to launch a ship British campaign.

Mr. Sproat

I do not think it would be appropriate for the Government to initiate such a campaign. The Government have made it clear that they want to see more British goods and services bought if they are fully competitive. I am sure the industry is fully conscious of the need to offer its customers throughout the world value for money, and fully able to make its services known to potential British users.
