§ Mr. Dodds-ParkerI understand that the British bondholders propose to take this matter up afresh with the Philippine company and Government.
§ Mr. TeelingIs my hon. Friend aware that as far back as three months ago his colleague the Joint Under-Secretary of State told us that the Government were now trying to see what the Foreign Office could do about it?
