HC Deb 16 June 1924 vol 174 c1716
19. Mr. HANNON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs which are the countries whose Governments have received de jure recognition by His Majesty's Government, but whose representatives in this country are not accorded full diplomatic recognition; and what are the reasons for this procedure in each case?

The PRIME MINISTER

The only case is that of Lithuania, whose representative in this country has not been accorded full diplomatic recognition pending the ratification of the Memel Convention by the Lithuanian Government.

Mr. HANNON

Would the right hon. Gentleman consider whether it is possible to facilitate the conduct of the matter of the recognition of Lithuania?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am very anxious that there should be no delay. The fault is not with the Foreign Office here.
