HC Deb 19 February 1883 vol 276 c307
MR. PULESTON

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether any, and, if so, what steps have been taken to provide for a Consular or Diplomatic representative of this Country in Mexico?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

I regret that I am unable at present to add anything to the statement made by my Predecessor on the 31st of October last, in reply to a Question by the hon. Member for Hull (Mr. Norwood), to the effect that Her Majesty's Government would be very glad to renew relations with Mexico, but that the difficulties in the way were considerable. The question continues, however, to receive the close attention of Her Majesty's Government.

MR. PULESTON

asked whether it was the fact that Representatives of this country had been sent to Mexico?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

asked the hon. Member to give Notice of the Question.
