§ Sir R. Russellasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which African Governments have informed him that they have reached agreements with United Kingdom companies whose assets they have nationalised; and whether the companies have informed him that they are satisfied with the compensation obtained.
§ Mr. KershawNone. Where United Kingdom companies affected by expropriation measures have themselves negotiated agreements with the responsible Governments there has been no obligation on either side to inform Her Majesty's Government of the outcome of their negotiations.
