(Circular.)
Downing Street, 9th July, 1886.
SIR,—I have the honour to call the attention of your Government to the questions asked by Mr. Howard Vincent in the House of Commons on the 21st May and the 1st June, and to the answers, reported in the newspapers, with reference to the desire of the Foreign Office to receive suggestions from Chambers of Commerce, or bodies and persons interested in British trade, as to the manner in which the services of Her Majesty’s diplomatic and consular officers could be turned to the best advantage for its promotion and extension; and I enclose, for the information of your Government, a copy of a letter addressed by the Foreign Office to various commercial bodies in this country, to which reference was made by Mr. Howard Vincent in the House of Commons on the 21st June.

I have, &c.,
GRANVILLE.

The Officer Administering the Government of New Zealand.

LETTER ADDRESSED TO THE ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE.*

Foreign Office, 4th March, 1886.
SIR,—I am directed by the Earl of Rosebery to state to you that his Lordship is taking into immediate consideration the general question of the assistance rendered by Her Majesty’s diplomatic and consular representatives abroad to British trade. The instructions under which these officers act are to protect and promote British trade by every fair and proper means. The Secretary of State cannot, however, give the support of Her Majesty’s Government to commercial or industrial undertakings, or to applications for concessions from a foreign Government, where he is unable to form a correct judgment as to the soundness or practicability of such enterprises. Within the limits that this office can properly act in these matters, aid is constantly afforded to British merchants and shipowners, and in many instances this assistance is very fully acknowledged.

Lord Rosebery will be glad, in order to enable him to deal in a satisfactory manner with the general question, to receive at your earliest convenience any practical suggestions which the Associated Chambers of Commerce may have to offer as to what greater measure of support they think might be afforded by British representatives abroad to British trade. It must, however, be borne in mind that these officers cannot act as agents for particular firms, nor could they with propriety decide upon the respective merits of rival enterprises, or the claims of British subjects of equal respectability and financial position, who may be competitors in regard to particular concessions or enterprises.

I shall be glad to receive your answer to this letter by the 20th instant.

I am, &c.,
J. BRYCE.

DIPLOMACY AND BRITISH TRADE.

MR. H. VINCENT asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, How many British and Indian Chambers of Commerce had responded to the invitations he stated on the 8th March had been issued by the Foreign Office to submit suggestions as to the manner in which the services of Her Majesty’s diplomatic and consular officers could be turned to the best advantage for the promotion of British trade abroad and the opening-up of new markets; what was the general tenor of the views expressed; whether fresh instructions in accordance therewith had been or were about to be issued; and whether the wishes of the Chambers of Commerce in the Colonial and Indian dominions of the Empire would also be sought upon this subject of Imperial importance?

Mr. BRYCE.—Answers have been already received to the circular issued by the Foreign Office from the Association of Chambers of Commerce of the United Kingdom, which represents sixty-four chambers, and also from the Chambers of Manchester and Glasgow, and the Paris British Chamber of Commerce, as well as from the Chamber of Shipping of the United Kingdom, the Iron Trades Association, and the Association of Agricultural Engineers. I have more than once stated in this House and elsewhere that the Foreign Office would be glad to receive suggestions from any bodies or persons who are interested in the question. It would be impossible within the limits of an answer to sum up the general tenor of the views expressed, but I may say that the whole subject, which is large and complex, has been and is still engaging the earnest attention of the Foreign Office, and it is our hope shortly to arrive at conclusions on the subject which will meet the wishes of the commercial classes. The Foreign Office is not in communication with the Chambers of Commerce of India and the colonies, and my
