HC Deb 31 January 1951 vol 483 cc124-5W
104. Mr. Teeling

asked the Economic Secretary to the Treasury what negotiations other than those concerning the meat trade, are at present going on be- tween His Majesty's Government and the Argentine Government; how they have been affected by the breaking-off of the meat trade negotiations; and how far they have advanced.

Mr. J. Edwards

As announced in the Press in December last, an Argentine delegation is at present in London, engaged upon technical discussions with the Bank of England about the revaluation guarantees applying to Argentina's sterling position. The meat negotiations have not affected these technical discussions. The discussions are still continuing and it is not yet possible to make any statement upon their progress.
