§ Mr. Newensasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the state of relations between the United Kingdom and Bolivia.
§ Miss Joan LestorThe United Kingdom enjoys normal good relations with Bolivia. Traditionally we were the largest market for Bolivia's main export, mineral ores, but this position has now changed with Bolivia's increasing capacity to refine her own ores. Our exports averaged about £2 million annually for several years, and in 1974 they increased to £4.3 million.
