HC Deb 01 February 1951 vol 483 cc129-30W
65. Mr. W. Fletcher

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what progress has been made in the negotiations with Belgium for a tax relief scheme similar to that negotiated with France.

Mr. Jay

Negotiations with Belgium have been in suspense for some time by mutual agreement in view of a projected reform of Belgian taxation law. Changes have now been made and the possibility of resuming negotiations on double taxation between the United Kingdom and Belgium is accordingly being considered.
