MR. BRIGG (Yorkshire, W.R., Keighley)

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will remind the Foreign consuls to give, in English equivalents, the statistics as to weights, measures, and coinage which are contained in their Reports.

(Answered by Secretary Sir Edward Grey.) British consular officers abroad are already instructed in the sense of the hon. Member's Question, and in all cases where these instructions are neglected the attention of the consular officer is drawn to the matter.
