HC Deb 31 March 1955 vol 539 cc45-6W
10. Mr. Hale

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how far, and when, the question of textile exports to Australia has been discussed recently; and, in view of the fact that recent limitations on cotton imports by the Australian Government have been attributed to the Chancellor's fiscal policy, what early action he is taking.

Mr. Maudling

We are in constant touch with our Australian friends on all commercial matters of mutual interest including our textile exports to Australia. I do not accept the implication in the second half of the Question.
