HC Deb 29 January 1952 vol 495 c9W
88. Major Legge-Bourke

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what representations have been made to the Government of Israel regarding the blocking of private British investments in Israel.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I presume that my hon. and gallant Friend has in mind the lack of facilities for the transfer from Israel to the United Kingdom of dividends and of the proceeds of sale of investments. Representations on this subject have been made to the Government of Israel on a number of occasions and the matter is under discussion with them at the present time.
