HC Deb 04 February 1902 vol 102 c361
MR. MILDMAY (Devonshire, Totnes)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether the Foreign Consuls acting officially in Pretoria are now accredited to His Majesty's Government.

* THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Lord CRANBORNE,) Rochester

Foreign Consuls have no official position in the Transvaa and Orange River Colonies, but the British Authorities attend to any representations which they desire to make on behalf of their nationals.
