§ Mr. Leachasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has received any report from His Majesty's commercial attaché at Copenhagen on the negotiations for a low-tariff area in Europe; what is the position of Denmark as regards such a group; and whether His Majesty's Government is taking any steps to facilitate its formation?
§ Captain WallaceInformation has been received from various sources, including His Majesty's Representative at Copenhagen, as to informal discussions between the countries parties to the Oslo Convention, including Denmark. These discussions, which I understand are exploratory, have been directed towards the possibility of lowering trade barriers. I have, however, no precise information as to any proposals that may have been discussed, and the last part of the question does not, therefore, arise.
