HC Deb 05 May 1983 vol 42 cc105-6W
Mr. Trotter

asked the Minister for Trade whether agreement has yet been reached to limit the number of cruises offered out of United Kingdom ports by Soviet cruise line operators.

Government of the United States of America about their 40 per cent. tariff imposed on imports of wool cloth from the United Kingdom.

Mr. Peter Rees

Some phased reductions in the United States tariff on wool cloth, extending to 1987, were achieved in the multilateral trade negotiations which ended in 1979. I recognise, however, that a wide disparity remains between the United States and Community tariffs on this particular product and we will continue our efforts to reduce this unreasonable barrier to British exports.
