Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations have been made to him by the Indian Government on the loss of Indian-British trade as a result of Great Britain's entry into the European Economic Community, and what was the nature of his reply.

The Government of India have informed Her Majesty's Government of their view of the likely effects of enlargement of the European Communities on India's trade. Consideration is being given to this.
