HC Deb 10 April 1986 vol 95 c153W
Mr. Butterfill

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he proposes to refer to the European Commission the subsidies being offered to the conference trade in the Netherlands by the Dutch Government; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alan Clark

We have received representations about these subsidies. We are considering the possibility of asking the Commission to investigate them.
