§ 5. Colonel DAYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it is intended to purchase a house. in Prague for the Legation; and if he will indicate which is the House selected?
§ Captain HACKING (for the FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS)I have been asked to reply. A house has just been purchased, for use as a Legation at Prague, the name of which is the Thun Palace.
§ Colonel DAYCan the hon. and gallant Gentleman say what price has been paid for the house at Prague?
§ Captain HACKINGThe purchase has not yet been completed, and I would rather not say anything now on the subject of the price.
§ Sir HARRY BRITTAINHas it not been extremely difficult to find a house for the British Legation in Prague.
§ Captain HACKINGThat is perfectly true. We have had many difficulties to face, and what we have now got is a very large building.
