§ 6. Mr. BOTTOMLEYasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Oversea Trade Department whether a Consul-General for New York has yet been appointed; and, if not, whether he will consider the importance of selecting a commercially-trained and commercially-successful business man for that post?
Mr. HARMSWORTHThe greatest difficulty has been experienced in finding a man possessing the requisite commercial training knowledge of America, business capacity and experience for so important a post. I hope, however, to be able to announce the appointment in a few days.
