HC Deb 26 September 1944 vol 403 c17
64. Mr. Naylor

asked the Prime Minister if he will give an assurance that the universal abolition of protective tariffs on imports, for which the post-war readjustments of production throughout the world presents a favourable opportunity, will be proposed or agreed to by the British Government in a future international conference as a basis of agreement on fiscal policy.

Mr. Dalton

I have been asked to reply. There is no prospect whatever of securing international agreement on such a proposal.
