HC Deb 11 May 1961 vol 640 c70W
69. Mr. Thornton

asked the President of the Board of Trade what reply he has sent to the invitation of President Kennedy for the United Kingdom to be represented at an international conference of the principal textile exporting and importing countries; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Maudling

This suggestion for an international conference of principal exporting and importing countries has been announced only in very general terms. We are looking forward to discussing it in more detail with the United States Government.
