HC Deb 27 February 1968 vol 759 c324W
119. Mrs. René e Short

asked the President of the Board of Trade what action he intends to take to control the rise of imports of unnecessary raw materials and manufactured goods.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

There is no justification for imposing restrictions on trade that would damage our international trading relations and our exports. We are confident that other measures we are taking will put our balance of payments on a sound footing.
