§ Sir MARTIN CONWAYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, with regard to the decision announced in the letter of 20th August from Sir Eyre Crowe, addressed to the Reverend Hunter Smith at. Lucerne, stating that it had been decided that a British consular office at Lucerne is not necessary, he will reconsider the decision in view of the following facts: that 40,173 British visitors went to Lucerne last year against 18,841 from the United States, who have a Consulate at Lucerne: that there was a British Consul or Vice-Consul at Lucerne from 1886 until the recent resignation of Consul Harley: that three banks at Lucerne have each of them offered to provide office accommodation for the Consulate free and the general inquiries office is prepared to defray all office expenses; and that Lucerne is the greatest holiday centre for British nationals in Europe?
