HC Deb 14 February 1933 vol 274 c790
21. Mr. GEORGE HALL

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on the position of the negotiations with the Swedish trade delegation and the Norwegian trade delegation?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The negotiations have so far been of a preliminary nature, and I am not yet in a position to make any statement.

Mr. HALL

When can the right hon. Gentleman give any indication as to the results of the negotiations with these countries and other countries with whom the Department is negotiating?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I cannot name any fixed date. The representatives of Sweden are returning to this country as soon as possible I understand.
