HC Deb 23 June 1959 vol 607 cc129-30W
99. Mr. Holt

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make representations to the Indian Government against its introduction of export quota control of raw goatskins in view of its effect upon United Kingdom trade and industry.

Mr. Vaughan-Morgan

No. I understand that this control does not mean a cut in total exports of goatskins from India.

100. Mr. Holt

asked the President of the Board of Trade, in view of the introduction of export quota control of raw goatskins by the Indian Government, if he will remove the 10 per cent. tariff preference on raw goatskins.

Mr. Vaughan-Morgan

No. The tariff preference on goatskins is maintained in the interests of other Commonwealth countries as well as India.
