16. Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTTasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received a letter from the St. Andrew Society, of Glasgow, enclosing marked copies of the British Blue Book and of the French Yellow Book of diplomatic correspondence with regard to the War, showing that the inaccurate terms England and English are almost invariably used instead of the correct terms Britain and British; and whether he is taking any steps to secure the use of the correct terms in future diplomatic correspondence?
Mr. PRIMROSEI have received the letter referred to. In the reply returned to the society attention was drawn to the answer made by the Secretary of State for the Colonies to the hon. Member for East Edinburgh on 9th February regarding the pressure under which Government Departments were working at the time.
Mr. PRIMROSEI beg to remind the hon. Gentleman that I am Under-Secretary and not responsible in this matter.
