HC Deb 15 May 1922 vol 154 cc31-2
66. Mr. AUBREY HERBERT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the number of British Missions, excluding the ordinary diplomatic missions, in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Turkey?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

As regards Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Bulgaria, I would refer my hon Friend to the very full written reply given on 11th May to a question put by the hon. and gallant Member for Leith. There are no British Missions in Turkey, although there are various minor inter-Allied, organisations deriving mainly from Allied Military Occupation of Constantinople.

Captain W. BENN

If I were to put a question on the Paper, would the hon. Gentleman be willing to give the amount of our interim expenses in respect of the Commission which we hope to recover from other countries?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I should be very glad to do that, but I shall probably have to ask for considerable notice, because I must inquire of another Department.
