HC Deb 09 June 1931 vol 253 cc788-9
19. Sir K. WOOD

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he can now make a further statement as to the position of the tariff truce proposals; and whether he proposes to ask the German Government to reconsider their decision not to deposit their ratification of the commercial convention?

Mr. W. GRAHAM

With regard to the first part of the question, I can add nothing to the answer which was given on the 19th May to my hon. Friend the Member for Brecon and Radnor (Mr. Freeman), of which I am sending the right hon. Gentleman a copy. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.

Sir K. WOOD

Is the right hon. Gentleman proposing to continue this matter further?

Mr. GRAHAM

Yes, Sir, it will be continued with all earnestness.
