§ MR. LEIF JONESOn behalf of the hon. Member for East Northamptonshire, I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in the event of the renewal of negotiations for the increase of the Turkish Customs duties, His Majesty's Government will consider the advisability of obtaining more adequate guarantees for effective reform.
§ MR. RUNCIMAN (for Sir EDWARD GREY)The attitude of His Majesty's Government on this subject was explained in my speech in this House on the 5th instant,† to which I have nothing to add. As my hon. friend will have gathered from what was said on Thursday, what is most urgently required to secure reform is that the present deficits should be supplied. This and other conditions necessary to maintain and carry on the reforms are now being considered.
