HC Deb 11 December 1929 vol 233 cc466-7
14. Mr. ALLEN

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether His Majesty's Government have any diplomatic or consular representative at Kabul; and when it, is proposed to restore full diplomatic representation?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom have not yet sent any diplomatic representative or consular officer to Kabul. It is proposed to restore full diplomatic representation as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made, but this, as I explained to the hon. and gallant Mem- ber for Chelmsford (Colonel Howard-Bury) on the 20th November, may not be possible for some time.

Colonel HOWARD-BURY

Has the right hon. Gentleman decided whom he will send to Kabul?

Mr. HENDERSON

No, not yet.
