§ Sir R. Russellasked the President of the Board of Trade, in view of the fact that Finland had a favourable balance of visible trade with the United Kingdom of £50 millions for the calendar year 1964, what steps he proposes to take to encourage greater imports of manufactured British goods into Finland.
§ Mr. MasonUnder the FINEFTA agreement, tariff and other barriers to our exports to Finland are being progressively reduced. Last year these exports increased by 20 per cent., and they have continued to rise this year. The export services of my department are always at the disposal of firms who wish to take advantage of the growing opportunities which the Finnish market offers.
