HC Deb 02 June 1924 vol 174 cc856-7
21. Lieut.-Colonel JAMES

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the name of the Consul appointed to Montenegro can now be stated; whether consular premises have been secured at Cettinje; whether he is aware that, if not, difficulties in securing premises may perhaps arise owing to the fact that this possibility has been foreseen and an attempt is being made to corner the premises available; and whether, under these circumstances, he will take prompt action?

Mr. LUNN

I hope shortly to be able to announce the name of the officer selected. The former Legation house at Cettinje is still available and, though unsuitable as permanent accommodation for a Vice-Consul, could be used as temporary quarters.

Lieut.-Colonel JAMES

When will the name of this official be available?

Mr. LUNN

If my hon. and gallant Friend w ill put a question on the Paper immediately after Whitsuntide, I will give him a reply.
