§ Sir R. GOWERasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether, in view of the fact that the Dominions are being pressed by foreign countries to enter into commercial agreements with them, he will state what action is being taken by the Government to consolidate our position by commercial agreements before similar agreements are entered into with foreign countries?
§ Mr. AMERYNo action has so far been taken by the Government here in the sense indicated in my hon. Friend's question. Our policy of Imperial preference has been common to the whole Empire and has not depended on individual agreements.
