HC Deb 03 December 1959 vol 614 c147W
65. Mr. Braine

asked the President of the Board of Trade what effect the Outer Seven Agreement will have upon inter-Commonwealth trade; and what consideration was given to safeguarding the interests of Commonwealth producers in coming to that agreement.

Mr. Erroll

I do not expect this Agreement to have any substantial effect on our trade with other Commonwealth countries. We have had constant regard to the interests of these countries and we have had much help in this from our continuous consultation with Commonwealth Governments.
