HC Deb 19 March 1968 vol 761 c72W
Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what further steps he proposes to take to encourage trade between Great Britain and the German Democratic Republic; and, in order to assist the process, if he will now recognise the existence of the latter country.

Mr. Mulley

Trade with East Germany is developing satisfactorily, and I do not think any special steps are called for. The answer to the second part of the question is, No.
