25. Mr. T. WILLIAMS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether any new trade agreements have been negotiated and completed between this country and Denmark, Sweden, Holland, and any of the South American republics; and, if so, will he state the terms of such agreements?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I hope to be able to make a statement very shortly regarding

the United Kingdom; and what percentage of the exports of those Dominions went to the United Kingdom in 1932 or in the latest year for which the figures are available and, for comparison, the figures for the previous year and for 1913;

(2) what percentage of the imports into the Crown Colonies and Protectorates, excluding mandated territories, were drawn from the United Kingdom; and what percentage of the exports of those Crown Colonies and Protectorates went to the United Kingdom in 1932 or in the latest year for which the figures are available and, for comparison, the figures for the previous year and for 1913?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

As the answer involves a tabular statement I will circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the answer:

the progress of negotiations with certain countries.
