Fletcherasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what progress is being made with negotiations to eliminate dual taxation between Great Britain and France; and whether, in view of the fact that close economic co-operation between Great Britain and other European countries is hindered by the existence of dual taxation, he will take steps to bring the negotiations now taking place to a rapid and successful termination.
