HC Deb 17 March 1926 vol 193 c400
6. Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the decision of His Majesty's Government not to raise the status of His Majesty's legation at Buenos Aires to that of an embassy has been accepted by Argentina as consonant with the excellent relations prevailing between the two countries?

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

The true character of Anglo-Argentine relations has been indicated and emphasised by the recent visit of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to this great republic, whose increasing importance is fully realised by His Majesty's Government. They believe that relations of such unbroken amity are, in the view of both countries, at once too intimate and too practical to have been either effected or affected by any particular category of diplomatic representation.
