HC Deb 13 July 1950 vol 477 c118W
77. Mr. Russell

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he has taken with regard to the proposal put forward by the Italian Government for the establishment of a preferential tariff area among the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation group of countries.

Mr. H. Wilson

It would be premature to form any judgment on this proposal until the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation have completed the full examination they are currently giving to it and to other proposals for closer European integration.
