§ 3. Mr. LYNCHasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has considered the question of the money guarantee which has often proved an obstacle to the entrance of well-educated young men to the Diplomatic Service; and whether, in view of recent events, he will abolish this proviso so as to widen the area from which men of ability may be obtained?
§ Lord R. CECILThe proposals made by the Royal Commission are being discussed at the present moment, but I cannot yet say what changes will be made in the regulations for the Diplomatic Service.
§ Lord R. CECILYes, Sir, I think I may say so.
