HC Deb 18 June 1963 vol 679 c36W
Mr. John Hall

asked the President of the Board of Trade what further conversations he has had with the Danish Government, since the European Free Trade Association meeting in Lisbon, to consider means by which our trade position with Denmark can be improved; and if it is envisaged that imports of Danish agricultural produce, particularly bacon, will be increased or reduced.

Mr. Erroll

The United Kingdom and Danish Governments are in constant consultation, in E.F.T.A. and bilaterally, about means of increasing trade generally, but I cannot predict the course of imports of particular products. We are exploring informally with Denmark the possibility of arrangements to bring greater stability to the United Kingdom bacon market.
