§ Mr. Kenneth Lewisasked the Minister of Technology to what extent, as a result of his visit to Russia, he was able to secure a promise of increased trade between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. CousinsArising from continued discussions between the two Governments, the Soviet authorities have assured us that they intend to increase the scale of their purchases from us. In the course of my meeting with Mr. Kosygin I drew attention to particular fields in which British exports could contribute to the development of Soviet industry.
