Trade Threat to Commonwealth Warned by British Panel
Sir Harry Gilpin chairman of an 11 man British engineering mission warned that continued limits on Canadian purchases could endanger the whole Commonwealth. The mission found Canada offers a solid long term market for British engineering goods while the US remains its main supplier. Harold Wilson said Britain would study proposals to bolster exports to Canada and the United States and considered maintaining British engineering representatives in Canada. Only a small share of Britain’s 1948 machinery exports went to Canada, with Canada importing just 3 percent from Britain.
