HC Deb 11 July 1949 vol 467 cc28-9
56. Mr. William Teeling

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the date on which negotiations will be opened with the Argentine Government concerning the payment of compensation to British shareholders in Buenos Aires Transport Corporation, and Primitiva Holdings.

Mr. Mayhew

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to him by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 28th June, to which I have nothing to add.

Mr. Teeling

As a fortnight has elapsed since the signature of the Agreement, do I understand that nothing has happened since then? What has the Embassy done in the last fortnight?

Mr. Mayhew

Representations were made to the Foreign Minister, the latest of them on 24th June.
