HC Deb 12 May 1966 vol 728 cc104-5W
45. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the President of the Board of Trade what is the expected effect on Anglo-Nigerian trade of Nigeria's association with the European Economic Community; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Mason

I understand that negotiations have been concluded between the E.E.C. Commission and the Nigerian Government on the terms of a draft agreement. Details have not yet been published and we do not know when it may be brought into operation. I cannot therefore estimate the effect on our trade with Nigeria.
