HC Deb 26 March 1953 vol 513 c89W
41. Mr. Vaughan-Morgan

asked the President of the Board of Trade why the United Kingdom Mission to the Caribbean countries did not visit the republic of Haiti.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

It was not possible for the Mission to visit all the 14 countries of the Latin-American dollar account area in the time they had available. For that reason, while we are anxious to increase our exports to all the countries in the area, the Mission went to those which seemed to offer the greatest opportunities for expanding United Kingdom exports.
