As my hon. Friend is aware, the Dutch and Indonesian authorities signed the Linggadjati Agreement at Batavia on 25th March. This very welcome step should provide the necessary basis for the early resumption of full trade relations with Indonesia and, in particular, should make it possible to resume the free movement of any supplies of foodstuffs already available in Indonesia for export. Even if the quantities readily available prove to be small, an early resumption of trade should provide an incentive which will help towards the rehabilitation of production of foodstuffs. We shall keep in close touch with both the Indonesian and the Dutch authorities in the matter and if necessary make strong representations to them if there appears to be any avoidable delays.
