HC Deb 26 June 1939 vol 349 c6
5. Mr. Day

asked the Prime Minister whether he will state the present approximate number of British subjects in Italian Libya; and whether any alteration has taken place during the last two years in the consolidated arrangements existing in that country for the protection of British subjects and interests?

Mr. Butler

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to him on 21st November last. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.

Mr. Day

Has any alteration been made in the British representation?

Mr. Butler

I have given the hon. Member the same answer as I gave to him on a former occasion.

Mr. Day

Has a consul been appointed there?

Mr. Butler

I explained the consular representation when I answered the hon. Member's last question.
