§ Mr. BARCLAYasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the commercial treaty between His Majesty's Government and Poland has yet been 2137W ratified; and, if not, whether, in view of the prejudice to British trade arising from the present discrimination in import duties in Poland in favour of France and Belgium, the Government can take any steps to accelerate such ratification?
§ Mr. PONSONBYI have been asked to take this question. I am happy to be able to state that the Polish Government have now ratified the treaty. Ratifications were exchanged last Monday.
