§ Commander BELLAIRSasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that in regard to British firms establishing themselves in foreign countries there has been considerable victimisation through threatened proceedings; and whether he will have the matter considered of appointing legal attachés in certain countries where the presence of such assistance will give confidence?
§ Mr. DALTONIf the hon. and gallant Member will furnish me with the details 2413W of any particular cases he has in mind, they shall be examined. With regard to the second part of the question, His Majesty's Missions abroad are generally able to obtain without difficulty all such legal advice as is necessary for the legitimate protection of British interests. The suggested appointment of legal attachés does not appear to be either practicable or necessary.
