§ Mr. WHITEasked the President of the Board of Trade whether United Kingdom imports into Chile still enjoy most-favoured-nation treatment as a consequence of the Franco-Chilean Commercial Agreement of January, 1936?
275W
§ Mr. RUNCIMANBy an exchange of notes dated 15th October, 1931, imports from the United Kingdom into Chile were accorded most-favoured-nation treatment for so long as themodus vivendi concluded between France and Chile in May, 1931, remained in force. A new treaty, recently negotiated between France and Chile, entered provisionally into force on 8th February, 1936, but has not yet been ratified. In the meantime, United Kingdom imports into Chile continue to receive most-favoured-nation treatment.
