HC Deb 04 December 1951 vol 494 cc215-6W
73. Mr. Remnant

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what progress has been made towards a reciprocal tax agreement with India and Pakistan.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

Discussions with representatives of India during the summer failed to produce agreement on certain outstanding points. It is our desire in the United Kingdom to conclude a double taxation agreement and the first opportunity will be taken that offers scope for a resumption of the discussions. So far as Pakistan is concerned, there have, as yet, been no negotiations.
