The French quota proposals were discussed by the Parliamentary Secretary of the Board of Trade (Dr Leslie Burgin) before the British Chamber of Commerce in Paris.

He hoped that they would find their own way out of the position, but in her trading relations with other countries Britain would never tolerate discrimination. The British Ambassador in Paris would, if lie had not already done so, notify the ’ French Government of Britain’s decision to take action if this policy of discrimination was con tin ued.
