75. Mr. Fletcher-Cooke

asked the President of the Board of Trade what plans he has to increase the quotas of goods imported into the United Kingdom which are restricted according to the value, by the equivalent of devaluation or to adhere to the sterling value; and if he will make a statement.

The effects of devaluation on prices and volume of sales will vary from item to item and from country to country; Any requests by exporting countries to review quotas expressed in value terms in order to take account of devaluation will be discussed with the country concerned.
