asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he proposes to call a further meeting of the Commonwealth Finance Ministers.

I am not in a position to make a statement about a further meeting of Commonwealth Finance Ministers, the date of which must depend, among other things, upon the convenience and commitments of my Commonwealth colleagues.

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the statement he has just made will give great satisfaction to a number of traders who still have a little of their export trade left?
