Mr. Amoryasked the President of the Board of Trade what is the present position as regards the issue of permits by the Turkish Government for the import of British textiles and other manufactured goods into Turkey.
§ Mr. H. WilsonThe Turkish authorities are at present issuing import licences for textiles and other manufactured goods from the United Kingdom on a relatively restricted scale because of the limitations imposed by their sterling resources. They have recently issued revised import regulations with the object of establishing priorities for various classes of goods, in accordance with their relative importance to the economy of Turkey. Details of these regulations will be published in the Board of Trade Journal shortly, and, in the meantime, if the hon. Member cares to let me know of any particular62W points in which he is especially interested, I shall be glad to look into them.
