HC Deb 30 July 1925 vol 187 cc639-40
76. Sir F. WISE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if the British Embassy has opened offices in New York; and, if so, what is the total cost?

Mr. McNEILL

I presume the hon. Member's question refers to the branch of the Commercial Secretariat of His Majesty's Embassy at Washington, which was recently established at New York and placed in charge of a Commercial Secretary, Grade II, hitherto resident at Washington. The additional cost involved is, approximately, £400.
