§ Mr. JayMy right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer has met the Chairman of Lloyd's and the British Insurance Association to discuss representations made by the insurance industry. Apart from these, the Government have received representations from a few major export firms about damage to their trade resulting from sanctions.
§ 62. Mr. Brewisasked the President of the Board of Trade what has been the value of exports to, and imports from, Rhodesia from the date of imposition of sanctions to the present date; and what were the comparable figures last year.
§ Mr. JayFigures are yet available only for December 1965 when imports from Rhodesia were £2.8 million and exports were £1.8 million. Comparison with December 1964 is impossible because the figures for 1964 distinguish only total trade with the former Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland.
