§ Mr. Skeetasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what are the prospects for further commodity arrangements designed to help developing States; and if he will outline any further commodities he has in mind.
§ Sir G. HoweI hope that the recently extended agreement on coffee and that recently concluded on cocoa will come into operation and that the Internationa] Sugar Agreement will be renegotiated. We are members of these and of the Tin Agreement. It is too early to say what new arrangements may emerge from a series of UNCTAD consultations on commodities and from the discussion within the Community of an export receipts stabilisation scheme.
