HC Deb 21 May 1952 vol 501 cc59-60W
71. Mr. Osborne

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make representations to the United States Government that the British people, whilst being grateful for the economic aid granted to them since the war, would much rather earn dollars by normal trading, for which modifications in the Buy American Act and tariff regulations would be of assistance.

Mr. H. Strauss

In view of the declared position of the United States Government, I do not think that representations such as my hon. Friend has in mind are necessary.
