§ 58. Mr. BOOTHBYasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can make any statement regarding the progress of the negotiations for a trade agreement between this country and the Argentine Republic?
§ Dr. BURGINMy right hon. Friend is not in a position to make a statement at present.
§ Captain DOWERCan my right hon. Friend put forward any hope as to when he will be in a position to make a statement?
§ Dr. BURGINI think it is a little unwise when negotiations are pending between two Governments to make any estimates as to the length of time one or other may take to answer representations.
§ Mr. H. G. WILLIAMSIs it proposed to give notice on 7th July in order that our hands may be free?
§ Dr. BURGINPerhaps my hon. Friend will put that question down.
§ Mr. LEVYDoes my hon. Friend propose to deal with the Most-Favoured-Nation Clause before these agreements are ratified?
