HC Deb 23 June 1967 vol 748 cc359-60W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs what estimate he has made of the value of current trading relations between Zambia and Rhodesia.

Mr. George Thomas

In the absence of any Zambian or Rhodesian monthly trade statistics for 1967 it is not possible to make any estimate of the current value of trade between the two countries. Zambian imports from Rhodesia in 1966 were valued at£23.2 million as compared with£35.5 million in 1965, a fall of just over 30 per cent. Zambian exports to Rhodesia in 1966 were valued at£2.5 million.
