Scottish Firms (Trade with U.S.S.R.)

HC Deb 05 June 1962 vol 661 cc40-1W

54. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the President of the Board of Trade what Scottish industries are now exporting their products to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; and what the prospects are for increasing these exports.

Sir K. Joseph

Trade figures are not kept separately for Scotland. But goods of a type traditionally made in Scotland are being sold. Competitive Scottish firms should be able to trade with the U.S.S.R.
