5. Mr. RAPER

asked whether a British Minister has now been appointed to Helsingfors; and whether Mr. Douner is recognised by the British Government as being Finnish Minister to this country

Mr. HARMSWORTH

In reply to the first part of the question, I must refer my lion. Friend to the answer given on Tuesday, 8th July, to the hon. Member for Stafford. As regards the second part of the question, Mr. Donner has been appointed the representative of the Finnish Government in London, with the temporary rank of chargé d'affaires.

Mr. RAPER

Does Mr. Donner figure in the official diplomatic list?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I do not know that his name actually appears in the list, but his status is as I have described.
