HC Deb 19 June 1958 vol 589 c1297
23. Mr. Ramsden

asked the President of the Board of Trade when the United Kingdom-South African Trade Agreement of 1932 and the United Kingdom-Indian Trade Agreement of 1939 are due for revision.

Sir D. Eccles

Neither of these agreements is due for revision. The general practice in the case of all our trade agreements with Commonwealth countries is to revise them as and when both parties think it appropriate to do so.

Mr. Speaker

Mr. Ramsden.

Sir J. Duncan

On a point of order. Is it not possible for one hon. Member to ask a supplementary question?

Mr. Speaker

I think the Answer was of a nature that precluded any possibility of a supplementary question. Mr. Ramsden.

Sir J. Duncan

Further to that point of order. If you will allow me to put the supplementary question, Mr. Speaker, it might be possible to show that there was a possibility of a further reply.

Mr. Speaker

I have called Question No. 24. Mr. Ramsden.
