HC Deb 02 June 1924 vol 174 c857
22. Lieut.-Colonel RUDKIN

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that a large number of British subjects have invested their savings in Austrian railways, guaranteed as to principal and interest by the late Austrian Government that these investors view with grave concern the present state of affairs; and will the Government lay the Report of the AnstroRumanian Commission, now sitting at Vienna, upon the Table of the House for the information of Members?

The PRIME MINISTER

As regards the general position of the Austrian secured debt, I have nothing to add to the statement. which my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs made in reply to the question which the hon. and gallant Member addressed to him on this subject on the 26th of March last. I am not aware that any Report of the Austro-Rumanian negotiations at Vienna has been published, and I am therefore unable to answer the last part of the question.

Lieut.-Colonel RUDKIN

Has Rumania undertaken liabilities in connection with the property to which she has succeeded?

The PRIME MINISTER

I must ask the hon. and gallant Gentleman to put that question on the Paper.
