§ Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLEasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has received any intimation of the decision of the Government of Poland not to ratify the Convention on import and export prohibitions; what States have made their ratification conditional on ratification by Poland; and whether the decision of the Polish Government affects the attitude of the Government towards the ratification of the Convention?
§ Mr. GILLETTAs regards the first and last parts of this question, I would refer the hon. Baronet to the answer given yesterday by my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade to the right hon. Member for Aldershot (Viscount Wolmer), of which I am sending him a copy. As regards the second part of the question, the States which made their ratification conditional on ratification by Poland were Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Rumania and Yugoslavia. Of these countries, I understand that Denmark has now consented to waive the condition, and to be bound by the Convention under the same conditions as His Majesty's Government.
