§ Captain Stricklandasked the First Commissioner of Works whether he is aware that the British Embassy in Baghdad is not provided with a swimming bath; and whether, in view of the intense heat which prevails at Baghdad during the summer months and as there is no hill station available, he can make arrangements to have our Embassy there provided as soon as possible with this amenity?
§ Mr. RamsbothamI am aware that there is no swimming bath at the British Embassy in Baghdad, and 1 had already instructed one of my officers, who was about to visit that post, to look into the matter, but further action will depend upon what funds are available.
