HC Deb 14 February 1990 vol 167 cc243-4W
30. Mr. Oppenheim

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what action he is taking to ensure that the European Economic Community does not erect protectionist trade barriers.

Mr. Redwood

I am against protectionism. I will certainly ensure that any European Community proposals for protectionist trade policy action are rigorously opposed by the United Kingdom.
