Expansion Of Trade With China
Under Consideration
STATEMENT BY THORNEYCROFT IN COMMONS
London, Nov. 19.
Britain is considering a further expansion of trade in non-strategic goods with Communist China, official sources said today.
Several British firms with "firm orders" for exports to Communist China have been refused export licences by the Board of Trade because the come under the exports were considered to category of strategic material.
These include £2,000,000 worth of anti-biotics such as penicillin and sulpha drugs.
Mr Peter Thorneycroft, President of the Board of Trade, was asked in Parliament today when, the government proposed to increase the export of anti- biotics to Red China,
"We are now considering the matter of anti-biotics to Red China.
"We are now considering the matter in consulta- tion with other governments who like ourselves restrict the supply of pharmaceuticals to China," he said.
Mr Thorneycroft said the British government was "not out of sympathy" with the desire to expand trade generally with Communist China.
"The matter is under active consideration at the present time," he said.
Questions in Parliament showed a variance of views on the justifiention for the embargoes on trade with China under the United Nations resolution banning strategic exports to Communist countries,
It was argued whether woollen and rayon goods besides
anti-biotics could be classified as strategic.
On July 6 this year, an unofficiul delegation of British businessmen signed "firm contracts" with Communist China's state-owned foreign trade agency totalling about £15,000,000.
The Board of Trade refused licences for about £4,000,000 worth, but last month modifled the ban and permitted the export of small cars to Communist China.-United Press.
