HC Deb 19 September 1950 vol 478 cc195-6W
Mr. Russell

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has yet received a report from the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation on the Italian proposal for the establishment of a preferential tariff area.

Mr. H. Wilson

No.

Mr. Amery

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT the names of those delegates from Commonwealth and foreign countries who have accepted His Majesty' s Government' s invitation to attend the forthcoming conference on tariffs and trade at Torquay.

Mr. H. Wilson

Invitations to attend the third round of tariff negotiations and the fifth session of the contracting parties to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, were issued not by His Majesty' s Government, but by the Secretariat of the Interim Commission for the International Trade Organisation. I understand, however, that this information should be available when the delegates assemble, and I will send a copy to the hon. Member.
