HC Deb 17 May 1956 vol 552 cc193-4W
67. Mr. Teeling

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs why the embargo on trade with China in strategic goods, which was enforced for the Korean war, is still in force; and when it will be lifted.

Lord John Hope

The embargo is in force pursuant to the United Nations Resolution of May, 1951. As to the administration of the controls, I have nothing to add to the replies given by my right hon. Friend the Minister of State on 14th of May to the hon. Members for Newcastle-under-Lyme (Mr. Swingler) and Birmingham, Northfield (Mr. Chapman).
