§ 5. Captain EDENasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any countries have representation at Angora; and, if so, which?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONYes, Sir; and if, as I assume, my hon. and gallant Friend alludes to permanent residence at Angora, the answer to the second part of the question is Russia, Poland, Greece and Afghanistan.
§ 6. Captain EDENalso asked what reasons, other than the lack of a suitable building, are operative against the permanent establishment of a British representative at Angora?
7. Captain CROOKSHANKasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of his statement that suitable accommodation is not available for a British Ambassador at Angora, he is considering reducing the status of His Majesty's Representative in Turkey?
§ 11. Sir HARRY BRITTAINasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the land which contained the British Summer Embassy at Therapia is British territory; and to what use it is now being put?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONThe site at Therapia on which the British Summer Embassy formerly stood belongs to His Majesty's Government, and is subject to the privileges usually enjoyed by diplomatic property. A small house and certain out-buildings which still exist on the site are used as an occasional place of residence by members of the Embassy staff.
