HC Deb 10 February 1930 vol 235 c46W
Viscount WOLMER

asked the President of the Board of Trade the amount of notice that would be required to terminate our commercial treaties with the following countries: Austria, Estonia, Finland, France (including Algeria), Germany, Greece, Honduras, Hungary, Japan, Latvia, Portugal, Siam, Spain, and Yugoslavia; and the earliest date by which such notice could be tendered in each case?

Mr. GILLETT

The following statement gives the required information:

Mr. GILLETT

Yes, Sir, such explanations are frequently obtained by my Department and communicated to the United Kingdom interests concerned for their information and guidance. Where the contracts are recurrent, this action has sometimes enabled United Kingdom firms to compete with success on subsequent occasions.
