HC Deb 03 November 1937 vol 328 cc904-5
10. Sir N. Grattan-Doyle

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the Chilean Government's desire to negotiate an Anglo-Chilean commercial agreement, he will inform the Chilean Government that the negotiations must provide for a cessor of the default on interest and sinking funds of pre-War Chilean loans raised in London on the assumption that the Chilean Government would honour its obligations?

Viscount Cranborne

The question of the Chilean foreign debt is receiving the constant attention of the accredited representatives of the bondholders, and His Majesty's Government will not fail to give full consideration to any representations which they may make at this or any other time.
