HC Deb 02 April 1930 vol 237 c1247
1. Mr. DAY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information and can state the number of British subjects that are at present resident in Kabul, Afghanistan; has he had any recent communications from the British representative as to the present conditions existing in Afghanistan; and can he give the House particulars?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Dalton)

The number of British subjects in Kabul has been estimated to be between 300 and 400. His Majesty's Representative has not yet left India for Kabul, but will proceed to his post as soon as final arrangements can be completed.

Mr. DAY

Have we any representative of the British Government at Kabul now?

Mr. DALTON

No, not at the moment.
