§ MR. SCHWANNI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government and the Government of the French 667 Republic have now come to an agreement as to the meaning to be attached to the word "cotonnades" in the Anglo-French Treaty, with regard to the admission of British-made cotton goods at a specially favourable rate of duty in the custom house at Tunis; and whether, in the future, all classes of British cotton goods, plain, bleached, and printed, will be admitted at the reduced rate?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYNo answer has yet been received from the French Government on this subject.
