§ 35. Mr. H. WILLIAMSasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that British traders are experiencing difficulty in obtaining licences to import goods into Poland, whereas licences can be easily obtained for the same goods by representatives of other foreign countries; and if he will make inquiries with a view to representations to the Polish Government antler the Most-Favoured-Nation Clause of our Trade Agreement with Poland?
Mr. SAMUELI have been asked to reply. I am aware of the difficulties, but the statistics of Polish trade do not suggest that there is any deliberate discrimination against this country. Proposals are now under discussion with the Polish Government which it is hoped may simplify the procedure and improve the position.
