The Board of Trade Journal of November 4th reported:

"Mr, lidward du Cann, Minister of State, Board of Trade speaking at the London Chamber of Commerce luncheon, for the Conde de Caria, Fresident of the Lisbon Chamber of Commerce, in London on Octeber 31 said: "As an old ally of Great Eritain and as a fellow member of EFTA,Portugal's economic development is.of great interest to Eritain.e It is the hope of H.M, Govern ment that British industry will be able to play a full part in that development, in two ways."

"ir, du Cann said the two ways were “Through bodies like the Tconomis Development Committee, which was set up after the 2FPDA Mimisterial Meeting in Lisbon in May last, and one of whose functions is to interest private snterprise in the promotion of industrial growth in other EVT’ countries, and by way of direct contacts with Portuguese industry... There is advantage to both partners in this. As Portugal diversifies her economy, and as new industries develop, new markets and new opportunities are created for British firms, to supplement more traditional outlets for our exports."
