HC Deb 27 April 1932 vol 265 c369
4. Lord SCONE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the present position in regard to the Anglo-Argentine Tramway Company?

Mr. EDEN

I understand that the Mayor of Buenos Aires has submitted to the municipality an emergency tariff scheme, involving an increase of tramway fares, which is now under consideration, and that the plan for the formation of a traffic combine, referred to in the reply given to my Noble Friend on the 6th of April, is now being studied and discussed by the various interested parties.

Lord SCONE

Can the hon. and gallant Member give any idea when he will be able to make a fuller statement on this important matter?

Mr. EDEN

No, I am afraid that I cannot. Now that these discussions are going on, we must await the result.

Mr. KIRKWOOD

Is not this a question of our interfering with the internal affairs of another country?

Mr. EDEN

No, Sir. There are British interests concerned.
