HC Deb 10 February 1949 vol 461 cc511-2
18. Mr. William Teeling

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of recent happenings in Hungary concerning Cardinal Mindszenty, he will consider the desirability of breaking off negotiations for a trade agreement with Hungary.

Mr. H. Wilson

There are no negotiations for a trade agreement with Hungary in progress. Discussions with a Hungarian delegation are, however, in progress in London for the settlement of Hungarian debts to the United Kingdom. It is not intended to break off these negotiations in view of recent happenings in Hungary concerning Cardinal Mindszenty.
