HC Deb 01 February 1937 vol 319 c1273
10. Mr. Moreing

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information as to the progress of the negotiations for an agreement between the Chinese Government and the bondholders of the Canton-Hankow (Hukuang) Railway for the payment of arrears of interest due to the bondholders and to ensure the regular payment of interest in future?

Mr. Eden

I understand that the negotiations referred to by my hon. Friend are continuing, but I am not in a position to make a statement at present.

Mr. Moreing

Is it a fact that the British, German and French bondholders have expressed their satisfaction to the Chinese Government?

Mr. Eden

I have no detailed information, but I understand that a public statement will be made before very long.
