§ Mr. Richard Wainwrightasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what are the current arrangements for diplomatic representation of Her Majesty's Government in Guinea-Bissau; and whether he is considering supplementing them.
§ Miss Joan LestorHer Majesty's Government do not yet have diplomatic representation in Guinea-Bissau. We proposed to the new Government there early in September that diplomatic relations between our two countries should be established with the appointment of a non-resident British ambassador. We are awaiting confirmation that this is acceptable.
