HC Deb 08 December 1966 vol 737 cc339-40W
83. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the President of the Board of Trade what estimate he has made of the increase in exports to European Free Trade Association countries which will follow the abolition of tariffs.

Mr. Jay

It is not the practice to give forward estimates of exports. Between 1959 and 1965 United Kingdom exports to E.F.T.A. grew at the rate of 9 per cent. per annum.
