§ 45. Dr. Broughtonasked the Prime Minister whether, as a result of his conversations with the Prime Minister of Australia, he can now announce any steps that are to be taken to encourage more trade between the United Kingdom and Australia.
§ The Prime Minister (Mr. Winston Churchill)The discussions on trade matters are continuing and it is not yet possible to make any statement.
§ Dr. BroughtonAre we to understand, from that statement of the Prime Minister, that as yet no success has been achieved in the efforts of Her Majesty's Government to encourage more trade between the two countries?
§ The Prime MinisterI think that what I said was quite plain and simple. I could not endeavour to force upon the House any other conclusion than that which would naturally arise.
