HC Deb 08 April 1986 vol 95 c21W
Mr. Charles Morrison

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will restate all aspects of the Government's industrial strategy.

Mr. Channon

The heart of the Government's policies towards industry and commerce is the continued reduction of inflation as a basis for sustained economic growth, and the creation of an economic and social climate conducive to enterprise and wealth-creating activity. Our aims are to increase the national production of wealth; to promote and enhance the vitality and competitiveness of British trade, industry and commerce within a proper regulatory framework and to increase the United Kingdom's share of world trade.
