HC Deb 30 March 1965 vol 709 c201W
10. Mr. Tilney

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations what consideration is being given to a Commonwealth Scheme for cocoa on the lines of the Commonwealth Sugar Agreement.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

As my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister has stated, we are anxious to explore possible longterm arrangements for Commonwealth exports of primary produce. The United Kingdom is, however, a less important market for Commonwealth exports of cocoa than of sugar. The best hope for Commonwealth cocoa producers seems to lie in international arrangements.
