HC Deb 16 December 1968 vol 775 c873
54. Mr. Pounder

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what study he has made of the implications the creation of a Nordic Customs Union will have for the European Free Trade Association and for Great Britain's relations with the likely members.

Mr. Mulley

The creation of a Customs Union is one of several possible economic measures under examination by the Nordic Council. The implications will depend on what is finally agreed, but the Nordic Council have affirmed their intention that any proposals put forward shall be in line with their European Free Trade Area obligations.
