71. Mr. D. Foot

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what representations Her Majesty's Government have made to the Government of Uruguay regarding the recent Uruguayan decrees creating flag discrimination in favour of Uruguayan shipping.

Mr. R. A. Butler

Her Majesty's Government are gravely concerned about the Uruguayan measures and Her Majesty's Ambassador at Montevideo has made representations to the Uruguayan authorities on a number of occasions. A reply has recently been received and, in the light of this, Her Majesty's Ambassador has been instructed to take the matter up again urgently.
