Mr. Proctor

asked the Minister for Trade if he will visit the Republic of South Africa in order to promote British trade; and if he will make a statement.

I have no present plans to visit South Africa. Our trading relations with South Africa are, however, important to us.

Mr. Proctor

asked the Minister for Trade what are the current major items of trade between the United Kingdom and the Republic of South Africa; and what are their individual values.

The latest information is available in tables II and V of theOverseas Trade Statistics of the United Kingdom for October 1982, a copy of which is in the Library.
