44 and 50. Mr. ERSKINEasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (1) whether he can now state the position with regard to recognition of the Mexican Government;
(2) whether he can give the House any information as to the position of the Mexican Government in regard to the resumption of dividend payments on the external and internal loans, in view of the fact that British investors are very largely interested?
§ Mr. McNEILLI would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave on the 14th March to questions put by the hon. Members for Central Wandsworth and East Fulham on similar subjects. No further negotiations have since then been initiated with a view to the recognition of the Mexican Government. I have no official information as to whether or not dividend payments on the Mexican external and internal loans have actually been resumed.
