HC Deb 23 February 1967 vol 741 c331W
49. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the President of the Board of Trade what interdepartmental investigation or research has been undertaken to establish what relationship exists between the presence of British armed forces in overseas territories and the nature and extent of British trade with such territories.

Mr. Darling

None, in general terms; but in deciding their policy in particular areas the Government naturally take British trade interests into account.
