MR. GRANT DUFFsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether any steps have been taken with a view to increasing the salary of Her Majesty's Vice-Consul at Canea, in consequence of the high prices of provisions in the island of Crete?
LORD STANLEYsaid, in reply, that the salary of the Vice-Consul had been advanced £20 last year, and as at present advised, he did not see any necessity for further augmenting it.
