HC Deb 25 October 1956 vol 558 cc63-4W
43. Mr. Russell

asked the President of the Board of Trade what concessions were obtained at Geneva in return for the binding of the duty-free entry of foreign maize into the United Kingdom.

Mr. P. Thornycroft

Concessions were not exchanged at Geneva on a commodity for commodity basis. Our commitment on maize cannot therefore be related to particular concessions received by us.
