Sir Julian Ridsdale

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what representations he has received from the Engineering Employers' Federation on new obstacles to visits by foreign technicians to the United States of America; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Channon

The director general of the Engineering Employers' Federation wrote to my right hon. and learned Friend about this matter earlier this month. I shall be replying to the director general shortly. The Government have joined in representations to the United States authorities who are themselves seeking to resolve the problem.
