Kennedy Round (Exceptions Lists)

HC Deb 24 November 1964 vol 702 cc177-8W

Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the President of the Board of Trade what proportions of total imports, by value, have been placed on exceptions lists in the Kennedy Round of Tariff negotiations by the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and the Common Market, respectively.

Mr. Redhead

The exceptions lists that have been tabled in Geneva are confidential documents, the nature of which it would not be proper for me to disclose. I can say, however, that the British list is very short.
