HC Deb 05 February 1958 vol 581 c174W
63. Mr. Teeling

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps Her Majesty's Ambassador has taken to in form the Argentine Government of Her Majesty's Government's anxiety for a speedy solution of the Anglo-Argentine Tramways case, if possible on the lines of the Primitiva settlement; and what information relative to the progress of the case was contained in the Argentine Government's reply.

Mr. Ian Harvey

Her Majesty's Embassy at Buenos Aires have on various occasions urged the Argentine Government to settle the company's case without delay. In February, 1957, the attention of the Argentine Government was drawn to a memorandum submittted by the Company stating their readiness to enter into negotiations for an out-of-court settlement. No reply has been received. Since then the company have not pursued this proposal but has maintained its case against the Argentine Government in the Argentine Courts.
