Mr. Gaitskell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has any statement to make on the conclusion of a monetary agreement between this country and Czechoslovakia.

Mr. Dalton

A Monetary Agreement between His Majesty's Government and the Czechoslovak Government was signed on 1st November. It provides a satisfactory mechanism of payments between the sterling area and Czechoslovakia, and will thus facilitate the resumption of Anglo-Czechoslovak trade. The text of the Agreement has been presented to Parliament and copies are available in the Vote Office.
