HC Deb 09 February 1989 vol 146 c755W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster when he last met representatives of the British Footwear Manufacturers Association to discuss imports of footwear from south-east Asia.

Mr. Alan Clark

As I said in reply to the hon. Member's priority written question of 18 January (Official Report, columns 237–38), I met the hon. Members for Sedgefield (Mr. Blair) and for Leicester, East (Mr. Vaz) and representatives of the footwear industry, including the British Footwear Manufacturers Federation, in February 1988 to discuss footwear imports from the far east. Imports from south-east Asia were also discussed.
