Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The Calico Act was enacted in 1720. Worried about the popularity of Indian textiles by the early eighteenth century, English wool and silk producers started to protest the import of Indian cotton textiles. So, the Calico Act was passed. In England, the textile industry was beginning to take off at the time. Due to their inability to compete with Indian textiles, English manufacturers sought to secure their market by blocking Indian textile imports. The calico printing sector was the first to expand with government support.
