§ MR. WOODALL (Hanley)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been directed to the condition of things at Algeciras, where British interests are seriously prejudiced, and British residents and visitors are subjected to great indignity, annoyance, and danger at the hands of the Spanish authorities; and whether the Government will at once appoint a Resident Vice-Consul to whom British subjects may appeal for the protection of their interests?
THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. G. N. CUBZON,) Lancashire, SouthportA memorial on the subject has been received through Her Majesty's Ambassador at Madrid, and the question of appointing a Resident Vice-Consul at Algeciras, which appears to have much to recommend it, is now under the consideration of the Secretary of State.
