HC Deb 28 November 1917 vol 99 cc2043-4W
Colonel FABER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Dr. Seton Watson, who has at times publicly attacked the Montenegrin nation and dynasty, is employed in the Foreign Office; whether he has had any access to confidential documents dealing with Montenegro; whether he has been invited to make minutes on these documents; and whether, in view of his public attitude towards Montenegro, this will be permitted or, if permitted, whether the Montenegrin representative may see those minutes?

Lord R. CECIL

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. Dr. Seton Watson is, I believe, employed in the Department of Information, which is not part of the Foreign Office or subject to the control of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and I am not, therefore, in a position to answer the remaining parts of the question.
