HC Deb 17 December 1936 vol 318 cc2643-4W
Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether any negotiations have been held with the Government of New Zealand for the development of reciprocal trade, including the negotiation of triangular agreements whereby countries exporting to New Zealand agree to take payment in United Kingdom goods?

Mr. M. MacDONALD

Discussions on trade between the United Kingdom and New Zealand are taking place with Mr. Nash, the New Zealand Minister of Finance, Customs and Marketing, who is in this country, but they have so far been of a preliminary nature and it would be premature to make a statement in regard to them.
