HC Deb 27 July 1961 vol 645 c70W
Mr. W. Hamilton

asked the President of the Board of Trade what estimate he has made of the effects on the paper industry of Great Britain's entry into the Common Market; what representations he has received on the subject; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Maudling

The British Paper and Board Makers' Association have informed me that, in their views, Britain should now offer to join the Common Market provided that a satisfactory solution can be obtained for the other members of E.F.T.A. and the Commonwealth.
