ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AGREEMENTS (NEGOTIATIONS)

HC Deb 09 July 1948 vol 453 cc56-7W

Mr. R. Mackay

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if the minutes of the negotiations carried out in Washington between the State Department and the Ambassadors of Great Britain, France, Denmark and Sweden, have been made a matter of diplomatic record and exchanged in the form of notes to serve as a guide to explain and define exactly the terms of the agreements between the U.S.A. and other countries of Western Europe; and if these minutes will be published as a White Paper.

Mr. Mayhew

No agreed record was made of the negotiations between the State Department and the representatives of the United Kingdom, France, Denmark and Sweden. There is therefore no question of publication.
