HC Deb 12 February 1963 vol 671 cc151-2W
58. Commander Courtney

asked the President of the Board of Trade why he has permitted an increase in the annual Soviet quota of £30,000 in respect of earthenware and china imports into the United Kingdom in exchange for a corresponding increase of only £5,000 in exports from this country.

Mr. Green

The quota for imports of Russian earthenware and china in 1963 has been increased by £1,667 over last year's quota of £25,000. The quota for our exports at £10,000 is an exact repetition of last year's rate.
