§ Sir P. DAWSONasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in reference to the Rumanian loan about to be issued in this country, any steps have been taken to ensure that any part of the proceeds shall be applied in payment of compensation to British companies whose oil properties in Rumania were destroyed by the British Commission in 1916?
§ Major BOYD-CARPENTERThe loan in question is a consolidation of existing debt and does not provide the Rumanian Government with new money for compensation purposes.
