§ 43. Mr. Jayasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will make a statement on further liberalisation of import controls on goods bought by the United Kingdom from other members of the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterThis subject is under review. Progress towards freeing of intro-European trade will, of course, be discussed at the meeting of the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation on 29th October.
§ Mr. JayDoes the hon. Gentleman agree that in the present rather finely balanced state of our overseas trade it would be unwise to relax this power?
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterSo immediately before the meeting to which I have referred, I prefer not to indulge in any general comment.
