§ Mr. MACQUISTENasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs why no diplomatic representative has been appointed to Montenegro; and whether any remonstance has been addressed to Serbia in reference to her interference with the work of the British Relief Mission under Colonel Burnham?
Mr. HARMSWORTHIn view of the fact that the status of Montenegro is still undetermined, His Majesty's Government are not yet in a position to appoint regular diplomatic or consular representatives in that country. A reliable official has, however, recently been despatched to Montenegro for the purpose of keeping His Majesty's Government informed of conditions there. The answer to the last part of the question is in the affirmative.
