Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the additional sum payable to Canada on the conclusion of the Anglo-Canadian Wheat Agreement, through the difference between the world price and that paid under the Agreement.
Mr. Gaitskell
None, Sir.
Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre

Mr. Gaitskell
The matter was discussed in May, 1950, with Mr. Howe, and the result was that no further payment was to be made.
