§ 16. Mr. Manderasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs what action the Government are taking with regard to the offer of the New Zealand Government, through Mr. Walter Nash, the Minister of Finance, to take British-manufactured goods in exchange for permitting the entry of New Zealand agricultural products on an equitable basis into this country?
Mr. M. MacDonaldThe discussions with Mr. Nash are proceeding, and I have nothing to add at present to the reply which I gave on this matter to the hon. Member for North Newcastle-on-Tyne (Sir N. Grattan-Doyle) on 17th December.
§ Mr. ManderIn view of the fact that these discussions have been going on for many months now, cannot the right hon. Gentleman give some date when a settlement may be arrived at?
Mr. MacDonaldI think it would be an exaggeration to say that these discussions have been going on for many months.
§ Mr. ManderFor some months.
