§ Mr. Thorneasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has considered the pronouncement of General Edwards Hay, the Mexican Foreign Minister, in connection with the Mexican oil question; and whether he can now say what action he intends taking about the matter?
§ Mr. ButlerMy Noble Friend has seen the statement attributed in the Press to the Mexican Minister for Foreign Affairs, but there has been no specific approach from the Mexican Government calling for action on the part of His Majesty's Government.
§ Mr. Lipsonasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is now in a position to say what reply has been, or is to be, sent to the Mexican Government's officially expressed willingness to resume diplomatic relations with this country?
§ Mr. ButlerI have at present nothing to add to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member on this subject a week ago.
