73. Mr. Parkin

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will give an assurance that recent trade negotiations with Czechoslovakia will be continued with the new Government with a view to expanding commercial relationships.

Mr. Bottomley

There have been no recent trade negotiations with Czechoslovakia, though preliminary conversations as to a possible basis for such negotiations took place before the' recent change of regime.
