Indian Goatskins (Commonwealth Preference)

HC Deb 16 December 1965 vol 722 c327W

93. Mr. Paget

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will take steps to terminate the Commonwealth preference granted on Indian goatskins.

Mr. Darling

We have a contractual obligation to certain countries in the Commonwealth Preference area to maintain this Preference and, therefore, cannot terminate it without their agreement.
