HC Deb 30 July 1919 vol 118 c2095
35. Mr. STURROCK

asked the Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs whether he can inform the House of the name and qualifications of the British Consul at Geneva; the length of this gentleman's service under the Foreign Office; and whether he will state this gentleman's qualifications for the post?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

The British Consulate at Geneva has hitherto been an unsalaried post which was held by Monsieur de Candolle, a Swiss citizen, for the last seven years. Monsieur de Candolle has now resigned, and Geneva is to be made a paid Consulate-General. Pending the creation of this post, Geneva is in charge of an acting officer, who, until recently, was acting-consul at St. Moritz.
