HC Deb 06 April 1927 vol 204 c2085W
Mr. SCURR

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Ambassador to Turkey resides in Constantinople or Angora; and, if he still resides in Constantinople, when it is proposed that he shall take up residence in Angora, the capital of Turkey and the seat of the Government of that country?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

The Ambassador repeatedly visits Angora for the transaction of business with the Turkish Government, but it is not possible for him at present to reside there permanently, as the limited accommodation at present available is fully occupied by the members of his staff who are stationed there. It is proposed to build a house which will provide reasonable accommodation both for the Ambassador and an increased staff, and plans are now under consideration.
