§ 10. Captain CROOKSHANKasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the detachment for service in the Dominions of members of the Diplomatic Service, he proposes to increase the establishment of that service?
Mr. A. HENDERSONThe seconding of members of the Diplomatic Service for service in the Dominions has not resulted, and will not result, in any increase in the establishment of the service. These officers are provided for in the Dominions Office Vote, and the vacancies caused by their departure were filled by successful candidates in the 1928 and 1929 examinations. In the event of any such post being suppressed its occupant would return to the Foreign Office and would be absorbed on the occurrence of a vacancy.
