§ 11. Mr. GRANVILLE GIBSONasked the President of the Board of Trade what steps have been taken in the direction of pressing the Turkish Government to cease discrimination against British exporters to Turkey; and will he insist upon Turkey fulfilling her treaty obligations so far as most-favoured-nation treatment is concerned?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANI am unable to add anything at present to the replies I have already given on the subject. All aspects of this difficult question are being fully examined.
§ Mr. GIBSONIn view of the fact that the attitude of the Turkish Government in this matter has resulted in a loss of £1,000,000 to industries of this country, may I ask the right hon. Gentleman if the Government are taking a very serious view of the action of the Turkish Government towards British exporters?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANYes, Sir. I am afraid I can only repeat that it is being fully examined at the present time.
