HC Deb 14 March 1907 vol 171 cc223-4
MR. MITCHELL-THOMSON (Lanarkshire, N.W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will take steps to ensure that any arrangement between Germany and the United States shall not operate adversely to British trade.

SIR EDWARD GREY

Should any arrangement be come to between the United States and Germany affecting British trade, His Majesty's Government will, of course, enter into such communication with the United States Government as may be required.
