§ 75. Mr. Jayasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will now take further steps to relax the embargo on strategic goods exported by the United Kingdom to China.
§ Mr. Selwyn LloydThe China trade controls are applied not only by the United Kingdom, but also by all the other members of the Consultative Group. Any action to relax those controls must therefore be taken in consultation with our friends and allies, not all of whom share our views. Meantime, as the House will be aware, the exceptions procedure gives us some latitude.
