FRENCH CONSULS
FUNCTIONS IN BRITAIN MERELY ROUTINE MATTERS (Rec. 10 p.m.) RUGBY. May 27. The Under-secretar'y for Foreign Affairs, Mr R. A. Butler, stated in the House of Commons that there were no British representatives of any kind in France, nor any French diplomatic representatives in Britain. Certain French Consuls were, however, as a matter of convenience, allowed to continue to function in Britain, but they had no cypher or bag facilities, and their duties were confined to routine consular matters. The British Government recognised General de Gaulle as the leader of all Free Frenchmen, wherever they might be, who rally to him in support of the Allied cause.
