HC Deb 30 May 1916 vol 82 cc2544-5
5. Sir RICHARD COOPER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if any diplomatic visit to the United States on behalf of the British Government has been determined upon; and, if so, is he in a position to make an announcement upon it?

Sir E. GREY

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. Sir C. Spring Rice, His Majesty's Ambassador at Washington, possesses the full confidence of His Majesty's Government.
