§ 41. Sir G. Sinclairasked the President of the Board of Trade what proposals the Government intend to put forward at the 1968 United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.
§ Mr. Crosland:Since the First United Nations Conference on Trade and Development was held in Geneva in 1964, the permanent organs of the Conference have discussed a very wide range of possible measures to promote the economic welfare of the developing countries. The Second Conference will be concerned to explore the prospects of reaching an international consensus on some of these measures. We very much hope, for example, that the Conference will be successful in paving the way for agreement on the question of granting special tariff treatment on imports of manufactures and semi-manufactures from developing countries.
