§ 65. Captain CROOKSHANK (for Sir ASSHETON POWNALL)asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Portuguese Treaty comes up for revision and, if so, at what date, or whether it continues in force unless and until denounced?
§ Mr. W. R. SMITHThe position is correctly described in the latter part of the question. Notice of denunciation can now be given by either party at any time, and if given takes effect 12 months from the date of the notice.
§ Captain CROOKSHANKHas the hon. gentleman not heard that the Portuguese are likely to denounce this Treaty?
