HC Deb 23 July 1969 vol 787 c390W
90. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will state the benefits to the balance of payments of adherence by the United Kingdom to the Wheat Trade Convention; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hoy

The main provisions of the Wheat Trade Convention were agreed during the Kennedy Round trade negotiations, as a result of which the United Kingdom gained valuable tariff concessions in important overseas markets.
