HC Deb 18 March 1919 vol 113 cc1925-6W
Mr. BIGLAND

asked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that the Treasury whom we had commercial treaties before the War were notified that if these treaties were renewed the Clause known as the most-favoured-nation treatment would be expunged; and whether he will state the names of the principal foreign States which have accepted the decision of the British Government to cancel this Clause in future treaties?

Mr. DUDLEY WARD

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The second part of the question does not therefore arise.
