HC Deb 14 May 1886 vol 305 c1041
MR. BADEN-POWELL (Liverpool, Kirkdale)

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether, under the new Convention with Spain, goods, the produce of British Colonies, entering Spain or Spanish Colonies, will enjoy most favoured nation treatment?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. BRYCE) (Aberdeen, S.)

Her Majesty's Government are no less desirous to secure any commercial benefits for our Colonies than for the Mother Country, and they have therefore taken care to secure that goods and manufactures, the produce of British Colonies, should enjoy under the new Convention with Spain, when ratified, most favoured nation treatment in Spain and the Spanish Colonies.
