HC Deb 09 July 1914 vol 64 c1254W
Mr. GINNELL

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will obtain through British Consuls-General in Russia, Sweden, Germany, and the United States of America, and place in a collected form in the Library in English, French, or German, the latest reports and statistics on the manufacture, cost, and value of peat fuel in those countries?

The HON. MEMBER

addressed a similar question to the President of the Board of Trade.

Sir E. GREY

In reply, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave him on the 21st May. I can only repeat that I cannot undertake to instruct Consular officers to collect the information desired by the hon. Member, unless the necessity for doing so is confirmed by the Departments of His Majesty's Government immediately concerned.
