HC Deb 18 November 1952 vol 507 c140W
69. Mr. Nabarro

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he is taking to assist the re-establishment of Britain's traditional export markets in Brazil for manufactured carpets.

Mr. Mackeson

The future of this particular export business, like that of other exports from this country, is bound up with the problem of Brazilian foreign exchange, and I can see no prospect of a recovery while the present shortage of sterling persists.
