§ 74. Sir NICHOLAS GRATTAN-DOYLEasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is arranging with the Argentine Government that suitable transport co-ordination legislation in relation to the Anglo-Argentine railways shall form part of the terms for the renewal of the Anglo-Argentine trade agreement?
§ 76. Sir CHARLES CAYZERasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the continued general ill-treatment by the Argentine authorities of non-Argentine capital, as again disclosed in relation to the, Buenos Ayres waterworks and the Primitiva Holdings Company, he will reserve power to review or terminate any Anglo-Argentine trade agreement at the end of every 12 months until he has established the policy that any such agreement rests upon fair treatment of Anglo-Argentine investments?
§ Captain EUAN WALLACE (Secretary, Overseas Trade Department)I understand that legislation of the character referred to by my hon. Friend the Member for North Newcastle (Sir N. Grattan-Doyle) is already before the Argentine Parliament. The position of British public utility companies is being kept in mind in connection with the present discussions with the Argentine Government, and the suggestion of my hon. Friend the Member for Chester (Sir C. Cayzer) has been noted.
