HC Deb 16 May 1957 vol 570 c46W
63. Mr. Jay

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will inform the House of any changes proposed in the embargo on United Kingdom exports to China and the Soviet bloc before these changes are accepted by the Government.

Mr. Ian Harvey:

I cannot commit Her Majesty's Government in the manner suggested, but I can give an assurance to the House that Her Majesty's Government will not agree to any changes in the international security export controls on trade with China and the Soviet bloc which are unreasonable or unjustified on strategic grounds.
