HC Deb 12 June 1941 vol 372 c367W
Mr. Lipson

asked the Minister of Information why the British Information Office at Istanbul has been left without a director since the death of Sir Denison Ross in September, 1940; and when he proposes to fill the vacancy?

Mr. Nicolson

It has proved very difficult to find a successor to Sir Denison Ross possessing all the qualifications required for the post. The matter however has not been lost sight of and the Ministry are in communication with His Majesty's Ambassador at Ankara with a view to finding a suitable candidate.
