§ 11. Mr. REMERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will point out to the Brazilian Government that it is impossible to allow the financing in London of short-term accommodation for the benefit of Brazilian interests while the Brazilian authorities refuse to protect the interests of British investors in the Cantareira and Leopoldina Companies?
§ Sir J. SIMONI assume that my hon. Friend is referring to the difficulties of the Leopoldina Terminal and Cantareira, Companies arising from the unwillingness of the Brazilian authorities to allow a revision of the tramway and ferry fares. As I explained to my hon. Friend on the 9th July, no settlement has, I understand, yet been reached in this matter, but negotiations are still proceeding, and no action by His Majesty's Government is for the moment either called for or desired by the companies.
