HC Deb 31 May 1883 vol 279 c1323
MR. MONK

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether he is now in a position to give the House further information respecting the renewal of diplomatic relations with Mexico?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

It has been arranged with the Mexican Government that Special Envoys shall be simultaneously accredited to London and Mexico respectively, who will be charged with the duty of conducting negotiations for the renewal of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Sir Spenser St. John, British Minister in Peru, has accordingly been appointed Special Envoy from Her Majesty to the President of the Mexican Republic.

MR. MONK

asked whether a Minister would be established with a Diplomatic Staff?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

Not at present I think.
