HC Deb 26 May 1871 vol 206 c1326
MR. MUNTZ

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If it be the intention of Her Majesty's Government, now that the German Empire is consolidated, to continue Diplomatic Establishments at the smaller Courts of Germany?

VISCOUNT ENFIELD

The question, Sir, of the maintenance of diplomatic establishments at the smaller Courts of Germany was one of the points noticed in the Report of the Diplomatic Committee, which has just been presented to Parliament; but I can give the hon. Member no more definite reply on this head than that the recommendations of the Committee will receive the careful consideration of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
