§ Major GLYNasked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs if his attention has been drawn to the position created in Australia, as it affects British and other shipping and the free movement of British subjects domiciled in the United Kingdom but resident in Australia, by reason of the fact that the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia and the Australian banks have restricted the normal movement of credit facilities; and whether, in view of the uncertainty and difficulties enforced on British shipping companies by this action, he is prepared to make representations to the Commonwealth Government on behalf of the British interests affected?
§ Mr. LUNNI understand that some difficulties have been experienced in commercial and shipping circles in consequence of the restriction on credit facilities by certain Australian banks, but, as I am at present advised, the matter does not appear to be one on which representations could suitably be made to His Majesty's Government in the Commonwealth.
