HC Deb 30 June 1955 vol 543 cc48-9W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will give consideration to invoking the waiver procedure under Document 6 of the White Paper, "Review of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade," in the case of apples and pears.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

I cannot predict whether it will be desirable and expedient for a particular item to be included in any application which Her Majesty's Government may make to the Contracting Parties in due course under this procedure. This can only be determined in the light of the circumstances existing at the time. The terms of the waiver do not call for such an application to be made at present.
