§ 15. Mr. Sorensenasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the appointment of a British Minister in the Yemen has received further consideration.
§ Mr. Selwyn LloydThe 1951 Exchange of Notes between Her Majesty's Government and the Yemeni Government provided for the establishment of normal diplomatic representation between the two countries, but the Yemeni Government never agreed to accept a British Minister in Taiz and Her Majesty's Government have been represented there by a Chargé d'Affaires. Since the expulsion of our Chargé d'Affaires in February, his assistant has been in charge of the Legation. I have nominated a new Chargé d'Affaires and in June asked the Yemeni Government for a visa. I am now waiting for a reply from them.
§ Mr. SorensenCan the right hon. and learned Gentleman say whether the nominated Chargé d'Affaires is, in fact, the acting Chargé d'Affaires there?
§ Mr. SorensenCan the right hon. and learned Gentleman say when the Chargé d'Affaires is likely to take over his duties.
