HC Deb 10 May 1971 vol 817 c9W
63. Mr. Blaker

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will make a statement about recent trends in trade with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Our trade with the Soviet Union has been expanding in recent years and reached a record total of £322 million in 1970 but there has been no increase in the level of our exports since 1968. This gives some cause for concern.
