HC Deb 30 June 1927 vol 208 cc594-5W
Mr. RENNIE SMITH

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he can give any information as to the proposed changes in prospect for the paper manufacturing works at Cornerbrook, Newfoundland; what is the offer which has been made by an American firm; and what is the attitude of His Majesty's Government as one of the guarantors?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Negotiations on this subject are in progress in Newfoundland, and it is not possible at present to make any statement in the matter.
