RUGBY, February 18.
Trade agreements were subject to a number of questions in the House of Commons. Mr Malcolm MacDonald stated that, in accordance with the usual practice, the United Kingdom Government had informed the dominions Governments of its intention to conduct trade negotiations with Denmark, so as to give those Governments an opportunity of expressing their views if they thought their interests were affected. The samp procedure would be followed in connection with any negotiations which might take place for a revision of the Anglo-Argentine convention.
The same assurance was given by Mr Walter Runciman (President of the Board of Trade), in observing that there, were a number of commercial Agreements with foreign countries which could be terminated by either party during the present year.
Mr Runciman also announced that the negotiations for a trade agreement with Peru had reached an advanced stage and' would, he hoped, be concluded shortly.
