HC Deb 11 August 1966 vol 733 c409W
Mr. Longden

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs why the post of educational attaché at the British Embassy in Washington has been suspended; and when it is proposed to re-establish it.

Mrs. White

The post of Counsellor (Education) in the British Embassy in Washington was withdrawn in 1962 for reasons of economy, and alternative arrangements were made to handle the essential parts of his work. It is not at present proposed to re-establish the post.
