§ 60. Mr. Wallasked the President of the Board of Trade what are the reasons for the decline of our trade with South Africa in 1966.
§ Mr. JayOur total trade with South Africa so far this year is hardly less than last. Imports have been higher and our exports have fallen proportionately less than those of South Africa's other main suppliers. The fall in our exports has been caused by the additional import restrictions imposed by South Africa to correct a weakness in her balance of payments.
