HC Deb 12 March 1964 vol 691 c78W
35. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development what has resulted from the visit of the Canadian Minister of Trade; whether he will make a statement about efforts to expand British trade with Canada; and whether the Western Hemisphere Export Council has now been reorganised so as to give special attention to trade with Canada.

Mr. Heath

I had valuable talks with Mr. Sharp on several topics, including British export trade to Canada. Mr. Sharp emphasised that Canadian imports are growing and that there are excellent opportunities for British exporters. The arrangements to replace the Western Hemisphere Export Council will be announced shortly and will make special provision for trade with Canada.
