§ 29. Mr. David Ginsburgasked the Minister for Trade if, pursuant to his reply of 10 May, Official Report, column 456, he is yet in a position to consider action to promote the future development of Anglo-Argentine trade; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter ReesI hope that circumstances will permit a resumption of trade before too long. Action by Her Majesty's Government at this stage to promote bilateral trade would be premature given the current state of our bilateral relations and the deteriorating position of the Argentine economy.
§ Sir David Priceasked the Minister for Trade, if he is satisfied that all the member States of the European Economic Community were able to enforce the trade embargo on the Argentine to the same extent as Her Majesty's Government; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter ReesI will reply to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
