HC Deb 09 December 1920 vol 135 cc2418-9
76. Lieut.-Colonel Sir S. HOARE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether an Ambassador for Brazil and a Minister for Poland have now been appointed?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I hope before long to be able to make an announcement on the subject.

Sir S. HOARE

Does the hon. Gentleman not think it very injurious to this country that there should be all this delay?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I can assure my hon. and gallant Friend that this matter has received a good deal of careful consideration at the Foreign Office.

Sir S. HOARE

Can the hon. Gentleman say what is the reason for this delay of many weeks?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

These are very important appointments, and the fullest consideration must be given before they are made.
