§ Mr. Braineasked the Minister of Fuel and Power on what basis he decides from which countries there shall be quantitative limitations of lubricating oil imports.
§ Mr. Geoffrey LloydThere are no quantitative restrictions on imports from the sterling area, Western Europe and certain other non-sterling countries. Imports from other sources depend on22W general trade policy, the U.K. supply position, and balance of payments considerations. There may also be legal reasons for refusing to permit imports from certain sources.
