HC Deb 10 February 1966 vol 724 c123W
58. Mr. Dodds-Parker

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, as a method of further co-operation between the European Economic Community and the European Free Trade Association, he will make proposals for freeing trade in chemicals.

Mr. Jay

We are seeking in the Kennedy Round to negotiate tariff reductions over a great part of international trade, including a wide range of chemicals. We and our E.F.T.A. partners believe this is the best way of achieving progress towards the object the hon. Member has in mind.
