HC Deb 20 February 1929 vol 225 c1095
12. Mr. WELLOCK

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, besides His Majesty's Legation, the legation of any other Power has not been withdrawn from Kabul; whether King Amanullah has invited the foreign diplomatic representatives accredited to his court to join him at Kandahar; whether any members of the diplomatic body at Kabul have accepted this invitation; and what is the attitude of His Majesty's Government in the matter?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

No foreign legation has been withdrawn from Kabul. I understand that King Amanullah has expressed his willingness to receive the foreign diplomatic representatives at Kandahar, but so far as I am aware no members of the diplomatic body at Kabul have accepted this invitation. His Majesty's Government do not propose to move their mission to Kandahar.
