HC Deb 18 July 1966 vol 732 cc34-5
44. Sir W. Teeling

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the recent change of Government in the Argentine and the dismissal of the Supreme Court, he will make representations to ensure that earlier judgments of the Supreme Court concerning the Anglo-Argentine Tramways Company are respected and efforts made to have these judgments more speedily settled.

Mrs. White

I have no reason to doubt that the earlier judgments of the Supreme Court concerning the Anglo-Argentine Tramways Company will be respected by the present Government of Argentina

Sir W. Teeling

Have Her Majesty's Government done anything about it in the last three weeks? As we are very hard up these days, would it not be a good thing to get a little increase in our invisible exports?

Mrs. White

We have no occasion to do anything about it because we have received assurances, and the assurances were made public, by General Ongania on 30th June that the Republic will strictly comply with undertakings entered into.
