by Mr. starling, it might be that in the long run we
should lina it simplest to agree with the Company not to
press the British control clause on the understanding
that tney woulu meet us fully as regards our other
desiderata. Mr. .tendel pointed out In particular that if
we could secure our main desicierata by other means, it
mi 6 ht vvcj ii bb uaci uac t ics to insist on the strict
application of the British c ontrol provisions to
subsidiary companies - since tnis might only further
complicate the already delicate position of the A ^P .C.C.
on the Board of the I.p.C. - while it would probably be
possible in practice to secure by other means that
subsidiary companies were under the adequate control of
their parent companies. Questions connected with the
registration and nationality of subsidiaries were often
based on technical and financial considerations regarding
taxation etc. and it did not follow that the non-
application of the British control provisions to
subsidiaries would in fact mean that those subsidiaries
would escape from British control.
It was finally agreed that in the letter to be sent
to the Company our desiderata should be indicated in
general terms and that a door should be left open for
the Company to come back, on the ground that it would be
unfortunate if, on hearing what our desiderata were, they
decided that it would be useless to proceed with their
negotiations, secondly that while the terms to be used
would require careful consideration we might hint that
rf.ivi.G. as at present advised would require British control
clauses/
