§ 20. Mr. William Hamiltonasked the Secretary of State for Trade what new initiatives he intends to take to increase trade with France.
§ Mr. NottThe British Chamber of Commerce in France has recently published a policy statement aimed at increasing trade with France. I am studying its report.
§ Mr. HamiltonHow is the trade in lamb getting on? If the French continue 22 to refuse to take our lamb, why should we continue importing unlimited quantities of their revolting apples?
§ Mr. NottAs for French lamb, it is for the Commission, not for us, to take action against illegal behaviour by France. I do not know that I agree with the hon. Gentleman's comment about French apples. I think that some French apples are delicious, but that is a matter of taste.
