Mr. Assheton (City of London)

I wish to ask the Financial Secretary whether, as I observe that this Order is limited to shipping and air transport profits, there is any likelihood that other sources of income may later be included?

Mr. Glenvil Hall

The right hon. Gentleman is quite right. At the moment this agreement is limited to shipping and air transport profits. It will not prevent further agreements being made covering other forms of taxation.
