§ 64. Mr. H. G. WILLIAMSasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has any statement to make on the future trading relations with Denmark, having regard to the fact that the Commercial Agreement of 1933 expires on the 20th instant?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANNegotiations for a temporary extension of the Commercial Agreement of 1933 with Denmark are in 1170 progress, and will, I hope, be concluded almost immediately.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSDo I understand that the agreement which was to lapse on Saturday is now being continued for a further period without amendment?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANNo, Sir; I do not think my hon. Friend would be justified in that assumption.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSWill the right hon. Gentleman be able to make a statement on Monday, and let us know what is going to happen after Saturday?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANI cannot make any promise at present.
