HC Deb 31 March 1913 vol 51 c6
2. Mr. JAMES HOPE

asked whether, in view of the probable prevalence of disturbed conditions in Albania and the adjacent regions in the immediate future, he will consider the advisability of at once establishing a Consulate-General at Scutari and Vice-Consulates at Elbasan and Prisrend?

Mr. ACLAND

The question of Consular appointments in Albania will be decided when the war is over and conditions are settled; the places named by the hon. Member will then be considered, but I cannot yet say when appointments will be made.

Mr. J. HOPE

Will the hon. Gentleman bear in mind the fact that the Vice-Consulates at Elbasan and Prisrend have such large districts to report upon that it is impossible for them to get accurate information?

Mr. ACLAND

Yes, I will bear that in mind.
