Letter to the Permanent Under Secretary
of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, from the Chairman of
the Committee
Further to your letter to me of 11 November
2005, informing me that a new Ambassador had been appointed to
the Holy See, I am writing to seek your observations on the accuracy
of the enclosed report from yesterday's The Times newspaper,
in which it is suggested that the staffing of the Vatican Post
is being reduced, and that the offices and residence are being
relocated outside the Holy See. I am sure the Committee would
also wish to know at what stage plans for the changes in representation
to the Vatican were when you wrote to me in November.
I would appreciate a response to this letter
by Friday 27 January.
Mike Gapes MP
Chairman of the Committee
