HC Deb 12 March 1906 vol 153 cc891-2
VISCOUNT TURNOUR (Sussex, Horsham)

To ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether his atten- tion has been called to the fact that, while other countries have a total of 372 consular officers in the Dominion of Canada, Great Britain has not a single official in the Dominion whose business it is to further British trade; and whether His Majesty's Government will see their way to remedy this state of affairs in the future.

(Answered by Mr. Churchill.) I have to refer the hon. Member to the Answer which I gave on the 22nd of February† to a similar Question from the hon. Member for South Wolverhampton.
