§ 11. Captain Gammansasked the Secreof State for Foreign Affairs if any representatives of British oil companies in Rumania have yet returned to that country; and, if not, under whose auspices these oil and refinery companies are at present being operated.
§ Mr. LawNo representatives of British oil companies have yet returned to Rumania. So far as I am aware, the oil and refinery companies are at present being operated under the existing Rumanian administration, in co-operation with the Allied Control Commission.
§ Captain GammansCan my right hon. Friend say when the British representatives are likely to return?
§ Mr. LawI am afraid I cannot give any precise indication. Rumania is a zone of active military operations, and until the position there is cleared up it will not be possible for the companies to send any representatives.
