HC Deb 30 March 1976 vol 908 c423W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what is the policy of Her Majesty's Government on an integrated programme of commodities; and if this programme will embrace 10 or 17 basic commodities.

Mr. Deakins

The UNCTAD Secretariat envisages that initially its integrated programme would include 10 "core" commodities and that seven additional commodities might be added at a later stage. Her Majesty's Government's attitude to the UNCTAD proposal for an integrated programme was set out in my right hon. Friend's answer on 24th March to the hon. Member for Blackpool, South (Mr. Blaker)—[Vol. 908, c. 198–9].
