§ 25. Lieut.-Colonel Schofieldasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in connection with current trade negotiations with Yugoslavia, he will ensure that in return for any future grants-in-aid or other assistance from this country, provision will be made to facilitate the export of cotton yarn from this country to Yugoslavia on lines similar to those which have been made in connection with trade agreements between Yugoslavia and other countries providing her with assistance or grants-in-aid.
§ Mr. P. ThorneycroftThe current trade talks with Yugoslavia are the annual negotiations prescribed by the five-year Trade Agreement of December, 1949, and are not concerned with questions of grants-in-aid or other financial assistance. Under this Trade Agreement provision is already made for the export from the United Kingdom of cotton yarn to Yugoslavia in each of the five years of the Agreement.
