SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether any complaints have been made to Her Majesty's Government to the effect that during the sitting of the Congress Consul Blunt suggested to the Turks to get up a Petition in Thessaly in favour of the establishment of an autonomous province under the protectorate of England; and, if so, whether Mr. Blunt has been asked to explain his conduct?

MR. BOURKE

No, Sir; no such complaints have been made at the Foreign Office, and no such proceedings on the part of Mr. Blunt have been reported to the Foreign Office.
