CANADIAN TRADE (WHEAT)

HC Deb 30 July 1954 vol 531 c126W

Mr. Thornton-Kemsley

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the recent proposal of the British Trade Commissioner in Winnipeg that Canadian farmers should try to secure a 10-year wheat agreement with Britain was made with his approval.

Mr. Peter Thorneycroft

The United Kingdom Trade Commissioner in Winnipeg has informed me that he was misreported and that he made no such proposal.
