HC Deb 04 May 1899 vol 70 c1319
MR. BOLITHO (Cornwall, St. Ives)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, having regard to British interests in Bolivia, and the fact that Germany, France, Italy, and Spain are represented by Consuls in that country, the question of appointing an English. Consul will be considered?

MR. BRODRICK

Such British interests as exist in Bolivia have been during the recent disturbances placed under the protection of the United States Minister. Should the circumstances warrant it, the establishment of a permanent Consular officer will be considered?
