HC Deb 27 July 1954 vol 531 cc32-3W
Lieut. - Colonel Bromley - Davenport

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on the progress of the consultations under the provisions of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade about United States subsidies on citrus exports.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

When these subsidies were discussed at the last session of the contracting parties to the General Agreement, the United Kingdom delegate underlined the interests of some of our overseas Territories in this matter, and there will be an opportunity to consult further with the United States when the contracting parties meet again in the autumn.
