HC Deb 08 November 1967 vol 753 cc124-5W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the President of the Board of Trade, if he is aware that the British National Export Council, under his authority, directs insufficient attention to the trade, industry and commerce of provincial export trade between Aberdeen and Northern Europe and Russia; and if he will take steps to rectify this.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody
