asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what are the facts regarding the punishment of employees of British oil firms in Rou-mania, inter alia, for alleged antidemocratic activities.

The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Ernest Devin):

Earlier this year oil companies in Roumania containing British interests were forced to dismiss some of their employees for political reasons. On this subject I have nothing to add to the reply given by my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary on 27th October to the hon. Member for Twickenham (Mr. Keeling).
