Chapter 6 in Canada-UK Bilateral Trade and Investment Relations, 1995, pp 113-120 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Canada has become less important to the UK both as an export destination and as a source of imports in the period since 1979. These developments reflect in part changes in the commodity structure of UK foreign trade, particularly the increase in importance of imports of finished manufactures, and the trade creating and trade-diversionary crosscurrents ensuing from general (GATT) and regional (European Community) free trade initiatives.
