CARS FOR COMMUNIST CHINA
BRITAIN LIFTS BAN ON EXPORTS
LONDON, November 8. Britain has decided to lift the ban imposed two years ago on sales of passenger cars to Communist China. The ban was part of the United Nations blockade on goods for China.
The Board of Trade will tell car manufacturers within the next 24 hours that passenger cars carrying not more than six passengers are no longer classed as strategic, and can be sold to China, but licences to export will still be needed. A Board of Trade spokesman said that this is not a general relaxation of the United Nations blockade, but a modification of one item.
