HC Deb 08 March 1995 vol 256 c244W
32. Mr. Fisher

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what representations he has received about the growth in the import of ceramic goods from the far east.

Mr. Page

My Department has received many representations on this subject, mainly about imports from China. United Kingdom manufacturers of ceramic products want the Government to support retention of the present quotas which limit imports into the European Community while many traders and retailers argue strongly that they are unjustified on economic grounds and should be removed.
