§ MR. WATT (Glasgow, Camlachie)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Government have received any information as to the reported resignation of General Guzman Blenco of his appointment as Minister Plenipotentiary and Fiscal Agent to the Courts of Europe; whether Dr. Paréjo has been appointed in his room; whether they have now received any information as to the number of the killed and wounded during the riots at La Guayra; and whether it is a fact that these casualties resulted through the troops having been called upon to defend the British residents against the violence of the mob?
§ * SIR J. FERGUSSONWe have had no official information of an intention on the part of General Guzman Blanco to resign, though we are aware that it has been rumoured. No information whatever has reached the Foreign Office of the nature indicated in the rest of the hon. Member's question.
