HC Deb 30 April 1959 vol 604 cc155-6W
44. Sir W. Wakefield

asked the President of the Board of Trade what representations he has made to the Argentine Government about the restrictive import conditions recently introduced after the freeing of the peso, particulars of which have been sent to him by the hon. Member for St. Marylebone; and with what result.

Sir D. Eccles

No representations have been made about the import charges as such, but the attention of the Argentine Government has been drawn to the hardship involved where goods have been shipped but not cleared through the Customs at the time of the introduction of these charges.
