HC Deb 22 December 1937 vol 330 c1983W
Sir R. Gower

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state the most recent official interpretation which has been given to Article 10 of the commercial treaty with Germany, 1924; and whether it can be assumed by British commercial interests that under this clause quantitative restrictions of German goods can only be imposed by this country when associated with quantitative contract in the distribution of similar British goods?

Mr. R. S. Hudson

As was stated on 25th May last in reply to the hon. Member for Croydon South (Mr. H. G. Williams) the interpretation of this provision of the Anglo-German Commercial Treaty can only usefully be considered in relation to particular concrete cases, and does not lend itself to discussion by way of question and answer.
