HC Deb 16 June 1937 vol 325 cc389-90W
Mr. H. G. Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that the Government of Alberta are paying interest at 2½ per cent. to those bondholders who signed an undertaking accepting this rate as a full settlement; and if he will state what steps he proposes to take to assist those United Kingdom bondholders who are receiving nothing?

Marquess of Hartington

My right hon. Friend is aware of the offer by the Alberta Government referred to in the first part of the question. As regards the second part, he has already referred to the Canadian Government representations made to him by the Bond and Stock Holders Protective Committee for Great Britain.
