asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Indians are eligible for appointment as diplomatic representatives in any Asiatic country or elsewhere; and whether any Indian has been appointed to any such post?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN:

The Regulations prescribe that candidates for the Diplomatic Service must be natural-born British subjects, and born within the United Kingdom or in one of the self-governing Dominions of parents also born within those territories.

Is the right hon. Gentleman contemplating any change in those conditions?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN:

No, Sir.
