40. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will state his plans for protecting Great Britain's overseas trade in view of the diminution of her sovereignty in certain overseas territories.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody:

We shall continue to protect our trade overseas by maintaining diplomatic and commercial relations with overseas countries and by sharing with many of them rights and obligations under international agreements.
