Mr. HANNONasked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department if his attention has been called to the pending publication of an electrification law in Yugoslavia; if he is aware that this law contemplates certain concessions for the attraction of foreign capital such as freedom from taxation and reduced railway rates, as well as monopolies over specified areas; and if encouragement will be given to the British electrical industry to participate in such new development as may take place?
