§ 68. Vice-Admiral TAYLORasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, as the treaty of St. Germain- 745 en-Laye is now due for revision, he will say what action the Government propose to take?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister)No statement can be made at present.
§ Vice-Admiral TAYLORCan I have an assurance that this matter is receiving the right hon. Gentleman's earnest attention and consideration, especially with regard to the export trade of this country?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERYes, Sir.
§ Brigadier - General Sir HENRY CROFTWill notice be taken of this matter before the Imperial Conference?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERI think that question is really a separate one. The question here is whether the continuance or not of this particular agreement is in the best interests of British trade, and the trade of these Dependencies.
