HC Deb 30 July 1952 vol 504 c144W
82. Mr. Teeling

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can make a statement on the Anglo-Argentine trade negotiations; and how far he has been able to include in these talks the questions outstanding since the last Agreement, notably the compensation for British holders of Anglo-Argentine Tramways and Primitiva Gas.

Mr. Nutting

As my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer said yesterday in reply to the hon. Member for Sunderland, North (Mr. F. Willey), negotiations with the Argentine Government are now proceeding and no statement about them can be made at the moment. All relevant matters will be included in the negotiations, and the United Kingdom Delegation have already taken up the question of the claims of the two companies mentioned.
