HC Deb 21 March 1983 vol 39 c327W
48. Mr. Meacher

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will make a statement about future prospects for the textile industry.

Mr. MacGregor

The textile industry makes a significant contribution to the United Kingdom economy. Its future prospects depend on a number of factors, but primarily on the ability of firms to meet the demands of their customers in terms of quality, design, price and delivery.
