HC Deb 03 December 1971 vol 827 c198W
Mr. Roper

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT details of the agreement on harmonisation of generalised systems of tariffs preference of the United Kingdom and the European Community recently made in Brussels.

Mr. Anthony Grant

The recent agreement was confined to establishing a one-year period of transition after entry for such harmonisation. This will allow time for details to be worked out for applying the Community's scheme to the enlarged membership.
