HC Deb 12 November 1945 vol 415 cc1865-6W
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 Norway.

Mr. Dalton

A Monetary Agreement between His Majesty's Government and the Norwegian Government was signed on 8th November which provides a satisfactory mechanism of payments between the sterling area and Norway, and will thus facilitate the resumption of Anglo-Norwegian trade. The text of the Agreement has been presented to Parliament and copies are available in the Vote Office.
