HC Deb 06 April 1933 vol 276 c1918
52. Mr. TEMPLE MORRIS

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if progress has been made in the representations made by His Majesty's Government before the Government of Uruguay for the modification of the absentee landlord tax as applied to public utility companies radicated in Uruguay?

Mr. EDEN

I assume that my hon. Friend has in mind the representations made by His Majesty's Government in support of the Montevideo Gas and Dry Dock Company's claim for exemption from payment of this tax. His Majesty's Representative at Montevideo is being instructed to continue to press upon the Uruguayan Government the desirability of reaching a satisfactory settlement of this matter.
