HC Deb 17 July 1985 vol 83 c153W
Mr. Willie W. Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the progress of negotiations with Argentina on the future of trade relations and other matters.

Mr. Renton

Our decision to lift our ban on imports from Argentina has given the Argentine Government the opportunity to respond and thereby to open the way to further steps towards normalising bilateral relations. We regret its response has so far not been more constructive, but we still look to it to take practical steps to match our initiative to the benefit of both countries.
