HC Deb 14 July 1997 vol 298 c71W
Mr. Goodlad

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what is her Department's policy on a target date for global free trade. [6368]

Mrs. Beckett

The Government is committed to working with our trading partners within the EU and beyond on the progressive reduction of barriers to trade around the world and on the further development of multilateral trade liberalisation through the World Trade Organisation. The success of this process will determine the pace at which we can move towards global free trade.
