51. Mr. E. P. Smith

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is in a position to make a statement as to the exploratory talks taking place between the respective Governments of Great Britain and the U.S.A., with a view to concluding a tax convention for the avoidance of double taxation and fiscal evasion.

Sir J. Anderson

I am not in a position to make any statement on this subject at present.

Can the right hon. Gentleman assure the House that the Government will take every possible steps to secure an accommodation with our American friends?

Certainly, Sir.
