asked the Prime Minister whether he has yet received from the German Government any reply to His Majesty's Government's request that Herr Reinhardt, German Consul in Liverpool, should be withdrawn from his duties in this country; and what was the nature of that reply?

Yes, Sir. My Noble Friend has been informed that, while the German Government do not admit that their Consulate in Liverpool had any connection with the Kelly case, arrangements are being made for the withdrawal of Herr Reinhardt.

What is the latest date given for the withdrawal of the Consul?

I do not think any actual date has been fixed.
