HC Deb 22 July 1919 vol 118 c1137
6. Lieut.-Colonel Sir SAMUEL HOARE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether a Consul-General has been appointed to New York?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

Negotiations are still going on with a gentleman in every way suitable for this important appointment, but I cannot at present say whether the invitation has been accepted by him.

Lieut.-Colonel MURRAY

If I put this question down in two days' time will the hon. Gentleman be able to answer?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

I shall be able to give an answer, but whether the answer will be satisfactory to the hon. and gallant Member I cannot say.
