§ 24. Mr. Chapmanasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many lists controlling exports to China, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the countries of Eastern Europe are now contemplated; and how many of these will be subject to special procedures.
§ Mr. Selwyn LloydAs regards exports to China, the discussions are continuing in the China Committee and no conclusions have yet been reached about the scope of the China trade controls. For the Sovietbloc there are three lists and no change is contemplated in the number of lists. All three lists will continue to be subject to the different procedures which have been applied hitherto.
§ 25. Mr. Chapmanasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what decisions were reached at the meeting of the Consultative Committee in Paris regarding changes in the strategic controls on exports to China; and when the changes are to become operative.
§ Mr. Selwyn LloydThe discussion on the China trade controls began in the China Committee last week. No agreement was reached. I understand that the Committee will meet again this week.
