HC Deb 17 June 1965 vol 714 cc94-5W
Mr. Ellis Smith

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will publish a report on his activities and on the policy he supported at the Trade and Development Board at Geneva during the first session which concluded on 30th April; and if it is his policy to support in future all proposals for an expansion of world trade in all forms.

Mr. Jay

The first session of the Trade and Development Board, which took place in New York in April, was concerned in the main with determining the future activities of the Board and the terms of reference, composition and work programmes of its permanent committees. The United Kingdom Delegation, which was led by an official of my Department, played a constructive part in these matters. It is the Government's policy to work for the expansion of world trade, including the trade of developing countries.
