HC Deb 26 May 1932 vol 266 c547
82. Major NATHAN

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is able to state whether His Majesty's Government proposes to take any action to determine or modify any of the existing most-favoured-nation-clause treaties?

Mr. JOHN COLVILLE (Secretary, Overseas Trade Department)

It is not at present the intention of His Majesty's Government to take any general action in this direction, but the policy in regard to existing treaty relations with any one country will naturally be determined by the course of any negotiations with that country which His Majesty's Government may be in a position to undertake after the Ottawa Conference.
