HC Deb 12 February 1900 vol 78 c1233
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Government have ordered the temporary withdrawal of the British Ambassador from Paris in consequence of the alleged offensive tone of the French press regarding the war in Africa.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

The answer is in the negative.

MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman who is in charge of the British Embassy in Paris?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I know nothing about that, but I suppose the next in command.
