HC Deb 30 November 1911 vol 32 c565
Mr. LYNCH

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will lay upon the Table of the House a White Paper, setting forth the conditions of entrance to the grade of attaché in the Diplomatic Service in this country, in the United States of America, and in France, and the rates of payment of Ambassadors in the respective countries?

Sir E. GREY

I will lay before Parliament a Paper containing the information desired by the hon. Member as soon as I am able to obtain it.

Mr. LYNCH

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman if in all these matters he will bear in mind the good democratic doctrine of Napoleon Buonaparte—une carrière ouverte aux talents?
