HC Deb 30 March 1933 vol 276 c1174
70. Mr. H. WILLIAMS

asked the President of the Board of Trade what further representations he is making to the French Government in view of the additional discrimination against British goods resulting from the withdrawal of the exchange compensation surtax against Swedish goods while it is still retained against British goods?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

His Majesty's Ambassador at Paris has been instructed to renew his representations on the question of compensation surtax, and I took the opportunity afforded by the visit to this country of the French Minister of Finance to discuss the matter with him.
