HC Deb 10 March 1925 vol 181 c1094
6. Sir ALFRED BUTT

asked the President of the Board of Trade when the Trade Agreement with Germany will come into force; and whether, pending its ratification, this country's products are receiving most-favoured-nation treatment from Germany?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

The Treaty will come into force when ratified, and before ratifications are exchanged the parties are required by Clause 8 of the Protocol to pass the necessary legislative and administrative Measures. The only Measure which will have to be passed in this country is the Former Enemy Allens (Disabilities Removal) Bill, which has already been introduced in this House. The answer to the second part of the question is in the affirmative.
