HC Deb 05 June 1956 vol 553 cc869-70
35. Mr. Bottomley

asked the President of the Board of Trade what concessions have been made by Her Majesty's Government as a result of the recent tariff negotiations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.

Mr. Low

My right hon. Friend will be making a statement on 7th June about these negotiations.

Mr. Bottomley

In the meantime, can I be assured that the Commonwealth Governments and the home manufacturers of goods concerned were fully consulted before any tariff concessions were made?

Mr. Low

I think all that will be covered in the statement or the White Paper. Statements have previously been made about consultations, to which I have nothing to add.
