HC Deb 05 December 1932 vol 272 cc1240-1W
Mr. CURRY

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether his attention has been drawn to the statement made by the Prime Minister of Canada to the effect that decisions of the Canadian Tariff Board, to be set up under the Ottawa Agreements, will not be considered as binding on the Canadian Government; and whether, having regard to Articles 13 and 14 of the Agreement, he will make representations to His Majesty's Government in Canada?

Mr. THOMAS

I have read Press reports of statements made by the Prime Minister of Canada on 22nd November, but so far have not, received the official report of what he said. I feel sure, however, that His Majesty's Government in Canada will carry out fully the terms of Articles 13 and 14 of the Ottawa Agreement.
