HC Deb 20 July 1978 vol 954 cc364-5W
Mr. Whitney

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether the Counsellor (Information) on the staff of Her Majesty's Embassy, Washington, has left or is about to leave without replacement; and whether the present Director of British Information Services, New York is to leave after completing only one two-year tour.

Mr. Luard

The answer to both questions is "Yes". The post of counsellor (information) in Washington was abolished at the end of 1977.
