§ 8. Mrs. COPELANDasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been drawn to the increasing obstacles placed in the way of the United Kingdom exports to Switzerland by the Swiss Government import restrictions, especially with regard to sanitary fittings, baths, etc.; and whether, in view of Switzerland's favourable trade balance with this country and also the money spent in recent months by British tourists in Switzerland, he will use such means as may be within his powers to obtain 869 an increase in the quota of these particular articles?
§ Dr. BURGINI am aware of the import restrictions imposed by the Swiss Government on the goods referred to by the hon. Member and the matter is being taken up with the Swiss authorities.
