Anglo-Iranian Oilfields

21.

Mr. Piratin
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will publish the report on labour conditions  in the Anglo-Iranian oilfields which was made to him by the three Members of this House, following a special advisory mission in June, 1946.

Mr. McNeil
The valuable reports rendered to my right hon. Friend by the hon. Members, which were not confined to the question of labour conditions, were in the nature of confidential reports, and I do not, therefore, consider that it would be appropriate to publish them.
