HC Deb 12 June 1989 vol 154 cc313-4W
Mr. Cryer

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what discussions have been held with EEC Ministers regarding any burden-sharing arrangement applying to the import of textiles after 1992; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alan Clark

I refer the hon. Member to the reply given to him by my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Corporate Affairs on 9 March 1989 at column 595. There has so far been no detailed Community discussion of future arrangements, including burden-sharing arrangements, for EC quotas on textiles and clothing.
