HC Deb 26 March 1935 vol 299 c1723
8. Mr. DINGLE FOOT

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he can now say whether, in the agreement which is being negotiated with Brazil, arrangements will be made for the provision of exchange relating to goods cleared prior to 7th April, 1934, in respect of which shippers are not covered by deposit of milreis?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

No, Sir. I am not yet in a position to add anything to the replies which I gave to the hon. Member on this subject on 7th and 19th March. The Brazilian Cabinet has approved the agreement, but it has not yet been signed.

Mr. FOOT

Can the right hon. Gentleman give any indication as to when the terms of the agreement are likely to be made public?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I will take the earliest possible opportunity of making them public, on the signing of the agreement, but until it is signed I had rather not go into the details.
