§ Lord R. CECILasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has information that a commercial agreement between France and Finland has been in force for some months; whether any similar agreement exists between this country and Finland; and, if not, what is the cause why no such agreement has been made?
§ Mr. RONALD McNEILLThe reply to the first part of the question is in the affirmative; negotiations are in progress between His Majesty's Government and the Finnish Government for the conclusion of a commercial treaty, but it has unfortunately not yet been possible to come to an agreement on certain points.
