HC Deb 15 November 1971 vol 826 c23W
Mr. Moate

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what proposals have been put forward at recent meetings of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade for the liberalisation of world trade.

Mr. John Davies

Since the last formal Session was held in February, 1970, work has continued in the G.A.T.T. on a wide variety of international trade problems, including tariff and non-tariff barriers. The 27th Session opens in Geneva tomorrow and the Contracting Parties will no doubt be considering how to pursue the aims of furthr trade liberalisation.
