HC Deb 08 March 1927 vol 203 c1048
72. Mr. A. V. ALEXANDER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is prepared to consider favourably the creation of a British Embassy in Argentina?

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

The question of the status of the British representative at Buenos Aires is one which has long received and continues to receive the most careful consideration by His Majesty's Government. The weighty arguments in favour of the creation of 3.n Embassy have not been overlooked.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Would a change mean any addition to the cost to this country?

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

I did not say that there was going to be a change.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

But would a change be any addition to the cost to this country?

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

I would like notice of that question.
