Scottish Cashmere Industry

EDM number 332 in 1998-99, proposed by Michael Moore on 16/02/1999.

That this House deplores the failure of the European Union and the United States of America to resolve the trade dispute arising from the so-called banana war; recognises the serious impact which the United States retaliatory measures are having on British industries; in particular acknowledges the potentially devastating effect on the cashmere industry in the Scottish Borders; and urges the Government to step up its diplomatic and other efforts to find the earliest possible solution to the dispute.

This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs.
