§ 12. Colonel HOWARD-BURYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Sir Francis Humphrys and his staff are now transferred from Kabul to Peshawar; whether Peshawar will be used as a temporary legation; and whether he has any representative left in Kabul from whom correct information may be obtained of what is happening in Kabul?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONThe British Mission has been withdrawn from Kabul. It is impossible at present to say when it will return, and the answer to the second part of the question is in the negative. There is now no British representative in Kabul.
§ Colonel HOWARD-BURYCan my right hon. Friend say whether some of the other Legations or Embassies are remaining, and whether it will be necessary to obtain our accurate information from the Soviet Ambassador?
