HC Deb 06 March 1951 vol 485 c31W
66. Mr. Hollis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will make a statement concerning the date at which the agreement with France concerning double Income Tax is likely to be ratified.

Mr. Gaitskell

Ratification of the double taxation agreement with France must await the necessary affirmative resolution of this House and corresponding action in the French Assembly. The draft Statutory Instrument to which the agreement is scheduled is, as the hon. Member will be aware, on the Order Paper and it is hoped that the necessary resolution will be taken quite soon.
