§ 7. Mr. HOUSTONasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will give the name, the birthplace, the original nationality, and the present nationality of the British Consul at Dunkirk, and the same particulars in regard to the wife of the British Consul?
Mr. PRIMROSEMr. Philip Charles Sarell, His Majesty's Consul at Dunkirk, was born at Constantinople and educated in this country, and is a natural born British subject, being, to the best of my belief, the son of a natural born British subject. He is married to a natural born British subject.
§ Mr. HOUSTONIs the hon. Gentleman aware that this gentleman is suspect by some of our military officers, and, under these circumstances, does he think he is a right and proper person to represent Great Britain and the Allies so close to the fighting line?
Mr. PRIMROSEPerhaps the hon. Member will make a statement as to what are the suspicions, and what are the foundations for them?
§ Mr. HOUSTONRight!
