§ Mr. DOUGLAS HALLasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what are the Most-Favoured-Nation Treaties covered by the resolution proposed by Sir Wilfrid Laurier and adopted by the Imperial Conference of 1911 and affecting any of the King's Dominions outside the United Kingdom.
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. F. D. Acland)The Treaties are those with Argentina (1825), Austria-Hungary (1876), Bolivia (1840), Colombia (1866), Denmark (1660 and 1670), France (1826), Italy (1883), Mexico (1888), Morocco (1856), Norway (1826), Russia (1859), Sweden (1654, 1656, 1661, 1766, and 1826), Switzerland (1855), and Venezuela (1825). The Bolivian Treaty of 1840, which is binding on the Dominions, is being replaced by a fresh Treaty, which is at present awaiting ratification. It is possible that one or two other Treaties of minor importance are also covered by the resolution, and these cases are being considered.
