HC Deb 14 October 1942 vol 383 c1601
2. Mr. Price

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any advice has been sought by the Emperor of Ethiopia from His Majesty's diplomatic representatives in that country in the matter of the appointment of Provincial Governors?

The Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Richard Law)

So far as my right hon. Friend is aware, the Emperor has not sought advice on this matter.

Mr. Price

Will the Foreign Secretary consider giving such advice in view of the great importance of proper appointments to the Provinces in Ethiopia, having regard to the internal conditions in the country?

Mr. Law

I am sure that His Majesty's representative at Addis Ababa will bear every consideration in mind and will give such advice as may be appropriate.
