HC Deb 12 March 1986 vol 93 c489W
28. Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what plans he has to encourage more people to buy British manufactured goods.

Mr. Butcher

Ministers, including the Prime Minister, repeatedly point out the advantages of buying British goods where they are well designed, of good quality and competitively priced. Much of my Department's work helps British manufacturers meet these requirements and we very much welcome private sector initiatives with similar objectives.
