HC Deb 07 February 1957 vol 564 c71W
5. Mr. de Freitas

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the proposed efforts of the Rolls-Royce Company to seek orders from China for diesel engines, British manufacturers of diesel engines will now be permitted to export them to China.

Sir D. Eccles

The export of all diesel engines to China is subject to the embargo, but applications for licences are considered on their merits within the limitations of the exceptions procedure.
