HC Deb 04 June 1947 vol 438 c181
25. Colonel Wheatley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what the position is in Abyssinia with regard to British advisers dealing with police, customs and other departments.

Mr. Bevin

The Commissioner of Police in Ethiopia and the Adviser on Customs to the Ethiopian Ministry of Finance are British subjects. British subjects are also employed by the Ethiopian Government as Judges in the High Court of Ethiopia, in the Ministry of Education as teachers and in other capacities, and in the Addis Ababa municipality.

Colonel Wheatley

Is the Foreign Secretary satisfied that the conditions of service of these officials are sufficiently satisfactory?

Mr. Bevin

As far as I know. I have not heard anything to the contrary.
