HC Deb 22 December 1916 vol 88 c1861W
Mr. NEEDHAM

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether there has been recently a presidential election in Cuba; and whether he can state the name of the president then elected?

Lord R. CECIL

A presidential election took place in Cuba about the 1st of November, but the result has not yet been declared, and His Majesty's Government understand that, owing to an inquiry which has been instituted in connection with the election, the announcement may possibly still be postponed for some weeks.
