§ 88. Sir C. Osborneasked the President of the Board of Trade what is his latest estimate of the annual loss of trade to Great Britain with Rhodesia and South Africa, respectively, as a consequence of the sanctions policy.
§ Mr. CroslandI cannot say what United Kingdom trade with Rhodesia would have been but for the illegal declaration of independence. In 1965, prior to comprehensive sanctions, our exports to Rhodesia were £31 million and our imports from Rhodesia were £29 million. I have no evidence that sanctions against Rhodesia have caused any loss of trade with South Africa.
