§ 14. Mr. Nabarroasked the President of the Board of Trade what steps are being taken to reopen the Australian market for British-manufactured carpets in consideration of the loss of 40 per cent. of all carpet exports from the United Kingdom when the Australian import cuts were imposed.
§ Mr. H. StraussI think it is clear from the statement of Mr. Menzies in the Commonwealth Parliament on 8th October that there is no early prospect of a modification of the Australian import restrictions. My right hon. Friend discussed the whole position with Mr. Menzies when he was here in May and hopes to have a further opportunity of talking to him during the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' meeting next month.
