It has been brought to the notice of the Secretary of

His Majesty's Consular Officers with regard to the flying of
the national flag over their residences or offices.
The flag should always be flown over His Majesty's
Consulates-General and Consulates, except in cases where the
regulations of the country or of the place in which the Consul
resides do not permit of the hoisting of the flags, and where
such regulations are applicable generally to the Consular Body.
For those of His Majesty's Consuls - General and
Consuls who are unable, owing to local regulations, to fly the
flag always, and for all of His Majesty's Vice-Consuls and
Consular Agents, the following regulations have been drawn up :—
The national flag should be flown on the British
national holidays enumerated, and on the national holiday of
the country in which the Consulate is situated, this formality
being necessarily governed in each case by local custom.
