HC Deb 27 June 1949 vol 466 cc748-9
51. Mr. Hurd

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if His Majesty's Government have decided to sign the International Wheat Agreement which is due for ratification by 1st July.

Mr. Mayhew

Yes, Sir. His Majesty's Government have already signed the International Wheat Agreement and intend to ratify it before 1st July.

Mr. Hurd

Could the Minister tell us whether enough countries have signified their intention to ratify so as to ensure that this agreement will come into operation in August?

Mr. Mayhew

I should need notice of that question.
