§ 3. Mr. Winnickasked the President of the Board of Trade by how much British exports to Cuba have increased in the last three years; and what action is being taken to continue to develop trade with Cuba.
§ Mr. MasonBritish exports to Cuba, which had fallen to £2.1 million in 1963, were £15.1 million in 1965. My Department offers the same services to British industry to develop trade with Cuba as are offered for trade with other countries. We cannot, however, permit the export of strategic goods to Cuba.
§ Mr. WinnickCan my hon. Friend give details of pressure from foreign countries to stop us increasing our trade with Cuba? Can he give a firm guarantee today that in no circumstances will we allow ourselves to be put in the position that we stop increasing our trade with that country?
