HC Deb 28 June 1960 vol 625 cc98-9W
56. Mr. Drayson

asked the President of the Board of Trade, in view of the fact that one British manufacturer of medical equipment at the United Kingdom Scientific Exhibition at Moscow found that an instrument for biochemical analysis in which his firm specialised, but could not bring to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics because it was on the embargo list, was already being sold by a rival United States firm to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics through Sweden, if he will again review the present embargo list to see what further modifications can be made.

Mr. Erroll

The strategic embargo list is kept under regular review in consultation with our partners in the Paris Consultative Group. If my hon. Friend will let me have particulars, I shall be glad to look into the question of the equipment for biochemical analysis referred to in the Question.
