HC Deb 08 December 1969 vol 793 c29W
Mr. Maxwell-Hyslop

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in the recent negotiations with Romania, any further imports of Romanian temperate foodstuffs, of a kind produced in the United Kingdom, were envisaged or encouraged; and which foodstuffs were so covered by the agreement resulting from those discussions.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

Most of our imports of temperate foodstuffs from Romania enter the United Kingdom under open licence. For those goods still subject to quantitative restrictions import quotas for the year 1st October, 1969–30th September, 1970, were negotiated in September last. The list of quotas, which includes some temperate foodstuffs, was published in the Board of Trade Journal on 8th October.
