§ 22. Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyreasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what progress has been made in negotiations with the Argentine Government to permit sums earned by British interests to be remitted to this country.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerDiscussions are in progress and I regret that I cannot yet make a statement.
§ Colonel Crosthwaite-EyreWhat is the total sum now due by way of these remittances from Argentina to this country? Can my right hon. Friend assure us that in the negotiations now going on he will press to see that at long last the British investor in the Argentine gets a square deal?
§ Mr. ButlerThe sum, I think, is about £7 million. We certainly want a square deal to result from these negotiations.
