HC Deb 16 November 1933 vol 281 c1149W
Mr. MANDER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs why Mr. Clifton R. Bassett, who deposited £100 with the British Consul at Buenos Aires for convenience unconditionally, on applying for repayment was refused the money until he had signed a declaration exonerating the British Government from responsibility in case he became destitute?

Mr. EDEN

I have at present no information regarding this matter, but His Majesty's Consul-General at Buenos Aires has been asked to furnish a report.
