Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what is the combined total turnover of the textile manufacturers of products in cashmere and wool in the United Kingdom for the latest 12 months for which figures are available; what percentage of this figure relates to cashmere only; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Trippier

Information on sales of the products of the woollen and worsted industry, including cashmere products, is published quarterly inBusiness Monitor PQ 4310, but no separate figures are available for cashmere products.
