Exports to Ghana

HC Deb 23 April 1959 vol 604 c588

39. Miss Vickers

asked the President of the Board of Trade by what percentage British exports to Ghana have risen since 1951.

Sir D. Eccles

Sixteen per cent.

Miss Vickers

Does my right hon. Friend think that this will be kept up in future? Is it not most important for maintaining and improving the standard of living of the people of Ghana?

Sir D. Eccles

As my hon. Friend probably knows, a mission has just been to Ghana and I am awaiting its report. I am confident from what I have heard that it will be very valuable and will help us to keep up our trade in that important market.
