HC Deb 20 June 1963 vol 679 cc86-7W
41 and 42. Mr. Oram

asked the President of the Board of Trade (1) to what extent the Export of Goods (Control) Order, 1960, and the Strategic Goods (Control) Order, 1961, apply to exports to Cuba; and what lists he has issued of goods subject to embargo to that destination;

(2) to what extent the list of goods subject to embargo for I he Soviet blocand China under the Export of Goods (Control) Order, I960, and the Strategic Goods (Control) Order, 1961, is applied in the case of exports to Cuba.

Mr. Erroll

The Export of Goods (Control) Order, 1963, requires licences to be obtained for exports of the specified goods to most, or in some cases all, destinations. It is not the present practice to issue such licences for exports of strategic goods to Cuba. The Strategic Goods (Control) Order, 1961, does not apply to Cuba.
