§ 18. Mr. Russellasked the President of the Board of Trade what estimate he has made of the effect the Outer Seven Agreement will have on inter-Commonwealth trade; and what representations he received, from other members of the Commonwealth, which assisted him in coming to this agreement.
§ Mr. ErrollI have nothing to add to my reply to the hon. Member for Essex, South-East (Mr. Braine) on 3rd December.
§ Mr. RussellI read that reply. Would my hon. Friend tell me whether any concessions were made by Commonwealth countries to make this agreement with the Outer Seven possible?
§ Mr. ErrollVery little, because most of the goods concerned in the E.F.T.A. Convention are not those which affect Commonwealth Preference arrangements.
