65. Mr. W. Fletcher

asked the Chan cellor of the Exchequer what is the reason for His Majesty's Government failing to reach agreement with the French Government on the question of double taxation when the French Government are ready and willing to accept such an agreement.

Sir S. Cripps

Negotiations for a double taxation agreement with France are continuing, and there has been no failure to reach agreement in the sense f a breakdown of negotiations. We are anxious to reach agreement as soon as possible.
