HC Deb 26 April 1978 vol 948 cc579-80W
32. Mr. Durant

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he will take a decision on sponsoring the establishment in London of a world commodities centre, so that commodity organisations already in the United Kingdom have a clear picture of how to deal with their present accommodation problems, and other commodity organisations such as copper and rubber which might establish their headquarters in London in the future, have an inducement to do so.

38. Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement about the progress being made by the interdepartmental group set up by his Department to look into the possibility of a world commodities centre being established in London.

Mr. Luard

I refer the hon. Members to the reply I gave earlier today to the hon. Member for Wallasey (Mrs. Chalker).
