§ Mr. Lewisasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, now that the Sanders incident has been settled with Hungary, he will make the necessary approach to that country for the resumption of trade talks which were broken off by Her Majesty's Government.
§ Mr. P. ThorneycroftThe special restrictions which were imposed on imports from Hungary in 1949 were relaxed immediately upon the release of Mr. Sanders. We did not wait for any approach from the Hungarian Government and there is no need for talks on this subject. As a result of these relaxations there is now an unlimited market for such exports from Hungary as cereals which, together with poultry, used to constitute one of Hungary's major exports. Unfortunately, for animal health reasons, we cannot at present import poultry from Hungary.
