HC Deb 15 February 1922 vol 150 c981
6. Major C. LOWTHER

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether His Majesty's Government have recognised the Government of General Orellana in Guatemala; whether they have recognised the Central American Confederation; and, if not, whether the Governments of E1 Salvador and Honduras are still separately recognised?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

The Government of General Orellana has not been formally recognised by His Majesty's Government. The proposed Federal State of Central America has not come into effective existence, and the question of its recognition by His Majesty's Government has therefore not arisen. The reply to the last part of the question is in the affirmative.

Major LOWTHER

Was effect ever given to the suggestion that in E1 Salvador and Honduras there should be honorary chargés d'affaires?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I should be glad to have notice of that question.
